May has been full of fun! We began the month with two incredible performances of Frozen Kids! Our first and second graders worked so hard to prepare, and it paid off! Thank you to Mrs. B, Mrs. Burkett, Julia Green, Mrs. Knott, Mrs. Poe, and Mrs. Sheckells and for their time and energy. The show was fabulous! We are very lucky to have parents who showered us with gratitude during Teacher Appreciation Week. Our bellies and hearts were full! The whole school was excited to wear purple to celebrate Mrs. Poe's 49th and 11 month birthday. Congrats to Mrs. Poe! Our End of Year Family Picnic was a hit! The attendance was incredible, and there were lots of smiling faces. We were also excited that the sun was shining on our 8th annual Pedal for Pediatrics @ Redeemer. Thank you to those who volunteered and supported these Parent Council events. As students prepare to wrap up the year and look to the upcoming fall, our second graders kindly treated our first graders to a Welcome Picnic. Students prepared lunch and shared tales of what's to come. Our kindergarten and pre-first authors and illustrators were very proud to showcase the many books they have created this years during our annual Publishing Party. Thank you to their teachers, Mrs. Arrup, Mrs. Barta, Mrs. Cummings, and Mrs. Vandenberg for a year of creating, writing, and editing. The party was a testament to all they have learned. First graders were thrilled to meet their Govans Neighbors in person with a play date and scavenger hunt. The morning was full of laugher and energy! Pre-k was very excited to host the first ever Under the Sea event. The pre-k turned their classrooms and hallway into the an ocean adventure and parents were invited to share in all they have learned. Thank you to Mrs. Fiske, Mrs. Knott, Mrs. Owens, and Mrs. Wyatt for all they did to make this happen! Finally, everyone is working very hard for our June Jamboree to mark the end of the year. Thank you, Mrs. B, for bringing magic to music!
