Greetings Families!
It was wonderful to see many families come by to check out Field Day. Our students had a great time! Big shout out to Coach Nava who is always looking for ways to make Field Day fun for everyone with a healthy competitive edge. The more traditional events have proven to be a big win with our kids and and I really enjoyed seeing our students cheering for each other!
The countdown to summer is beginning and we can feel the buzz of anticipation for summer throughout campus. We still have 5 more weeks that we are working hard with all of our students and have much more to accomplish in the few short weeks we have left of the school year. Please continue to encourage your student to do their best, be kind and patient, and to have a growth mindset. The year is not over and we have a few more things to learn!
As always, thank you for being our partner in your child's education. We couldn't do what we do with you. Two weeks until Teacher Appreciation Week. I hope you will take the time to send your student's teachers a note about anything that has been a positive in your child's education journey this year.
Enjoy a great week!
Always True Blue,
Amanda Bunch
