Health and Safety Come First

Dear Parents and Students,

Our health and safety come first and therefore I would like to mention a few things.  I want to make sure that we all stay strong and healthy.  Students, bring an extra jacket and even a scarf to school.  Some days can be quite windy and chilly.  Also make sure you wash your hands regularly, especially before meals. 

The third graders got their partners for their Science Fair projects this week.  Students, now you can start thinking about something scientific that interests you.  Also, keep in mind that most of the project will be done outside of school, in your free time.  Choose something fun and interesting.  I would like you to have fun while learning!
