Traditions bring a sense of belonging to a community or family. Yesterday, we had our traditional 4th grade send off at our assembly. The whole school circled around them as we sang “We Wish You Well.” Mr. Guell and Mr. Peters also awarded two of our 4th graders with the “Tough as Nails” trophy which recognizes athleticism, positive attitude and good sportsmanship. We will miss you, 4th graders. Go make an impact on our world!

Field Day fun plus the last day in the cafeteria for our 4th graders. 😊😭
