A few snippets from fifth-grade promotion day. We're gonna miss these crazy kids - they'd better come back and visit! Families, feel free to post your pics here!

Kids (and I daresay growups, too) had a blast at yesterday's field day! Big thanks to Sean from Eugene Springfield Fire for the chance to check out a fire truck (and hose down!).

Ms Dean is nothing if not a good sport! She allowed Ms Lefferts - who is also, sadly, leaving us to take a job at Maple Elementary - to turn her into a human sundae yesterday. We are going to miss these two fun-loving, positive, and caring humans who have made such an impact on our school, but we wish them all the best!

Big thanks to our fifth-grade Safety Patrol team for all their hard work through the school year to keep everyone safe! They got to enjoy some mini-golf last Tuesday to celebrate.

So, this also happened last week! We are always thrilled when the Springfield High grads come to visit - such a great tradition! Congratulations to all of you - Oh, the places you'll go!

Congratulations to all our competitors in Friday's Minute to Win It challenges! Students earned green Blue Jay Bucks all month for being "on task" for a chance to compete against teachers and classmates in five contests. Excellent way to end the week!

Today's Minute-to-Win-It assembly was a blast - stay tuned for video - but the highlight was Ms Lefferts and Mrs Thomas playing the infamous bodybuilders Hans and Franz from classic SNL days in honor of our departing assistant principal Calli Dean, who has herself been known to "pump it up." Our loss is absolutely Riverbend Elementary's gain, though, as she will be assuming the role of principal in the fall. Congrats, Ms Dean – we are going to miss having your amazing positive energy around to pump us up!
