Good afternoon Shady Lane families,

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. What a beautiful couple of days! We kick off our third trimester this week. Our kids have come so far, and I'm excited to see their continued progress. Spring brings great growth and great opportunity. Fun things like Hoopalooza, spring concerts and Intergenerational Day are ahead. I can't wait!

It's going to be a great week!

Brad Hoffman

Hoopalooza This Friday!

We're excited to bring back Hoopalooza in an epic battle between the Shady Lane staff and the Valley View staff. It may not be March Madness quality basketball, but it'll surely be a great time!

Doors open at 5:30

Tip off at 6:30

Volunteers Needed - We could still use a few volunteers. There are a few 1 hour time slots. Check it out if you can help.

To get ready for the big day, we'll be bringing some school spirit with some fun dress up days.

Manners Minute

To help our students learn important life skills, we've started sharing a Manners Minute on Thursday mornings with announcements. Some of our students have been doing a great job sharing some videos with the rest of the school to help to build some skills. This one time lesson is helpful, but to really make a difference, we need to reinforce it at school and home. During the week, staff are on the look out for students displaying these skills and giving out Hawk Bills to recognize our learning and growth. Check out this week's Manners Minute
