Ms. Fitterer's and Ms. Faul's First Graders have paired up with Mrs. Hilzendeger's life science class to hatch eggs! We are excited to be a part of this process for the next 21 days. Today the first graders got to put the eggs into the incubator.

‼️ Since we have a long weekend, we are challenging elementary students to READ, READ, READ! We are halfway through reading month but not halfway to our minutes goal. 😧 That means we are short minutes to go to the Super Mario Bros movie in May! Please encourage your students to read as much as possible the next two weeks so we can earn the movie! Reminder that tracking sheets are due on Wednesdays. Thank you! ‼️

Over conferences we had QR codes out for parents to take a state mandated engagement survey. We are asking any parents that did not complete the survey to please do so at bit.ly/eProveParent. This survey can be done from your smartphone. For those that have already taken the survey, thank you!

Congratulations to Faith on earning a rodeo scholarship to Sheridan College! We are incredibly proud of you and looking forward to celebrating your accomplishments!

Great job to both junior and senior division acalympic teams!
