MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Cory Families,
Happy Friday! I want to share an exciting STEAM project that Mrs. Miller and Ms. Fergunson are supporting students with. Students are building their own musical instrument. It was wonderful seeing students engage in collaborating, design thinking, and building together to create something new. Students had to use all their music knowledge to create these instruments.
Today, we had indoor lunch for all students. We followed a strict protocol of masks off for only 15 min., dividers between students, windows open, students sat at least 6 ft. away, and students sat in assigned seats to support any contract tracing. I am proud of our students for following all the safety protocols to eat lunch inside safely.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Best,
Joan Wieser

Thank you from the Book Fair co-chairs!
Thank you all for all of your help and support this year! Despite the fact that the fair was held outdoors, our hours were shortened, there was much less stock, we didn’t have our Thanksgiving lunch rush from families or literacy night this year, we did exceptionally well, with sales just over $15,700. 50% of that will go directly back to the school for library books, STEM kits, birthday books and books to fill classroom libraries. We couldn’t have done it without all of your help!
Thanks again-
Kelly Woodward and Milli Wolfson
