Happy end of week 1!!
We are sure this week was full of learning and laughs - and that includes the Welcome Back assembly! If the kids didn't pick up some new moves from Mr. Ottow and Tony the Tiger, they were certainly entertained!!
🐯🕺🎶
Enjoy the extra long weekend!

Thank you to all who visited us for the Welcome Back Ice Cream Social!! We loved seeing so many friends reuniting or meeting for the first time, playing, dancing in the bubbles, adding art to our chalk walk, and enjoying a sweet treat!!

An extra thanks to our crew of volunteers who put it all together and the staff for their support!

Looking forward to next week!

🛝🍂Playground Clean-up Day SUCCESS. Removing the sticks, large limbs, trash, and so many pine needles helps keep our playground clean and safe for student and staff use.

👏We were supported by a lot of helping hands. Many thanks to the following families: Lelands, Porters, Richards, McGregors, Pontaus, Veits, Greenleafs, Jordans, and our event coordinators, Robertsons and Prides. A special thanks to Jess & Ben for providing lunch to our full-day helpers. This event would not be possible without the support of Mr. Stoner, Mrs. Richards, Ms. Pam, Mr. Johansen, and the MSAD 75 Facilities Department.
