Parent Weekly Update for the Week of November 18th

 

 

Thank you to all our parents that attended the 2^nd -6^th Grade First Quarter Honor Roll Assembly today, Friday, November 15, 2013.  Our scholars were so excited and we could not have been more proud of them!  Scholars that made the honor roll, principal’s honor, and earned perfect attendance were recognized.  Congratulations to them all! We look forward to celebrating with you for 2^nd quarter.  Thank you also to our parents that jumped right in to assist with the refreshments after the assembly.  You are appreciated!

 

We had guest readers today from Naval Air Facility Washington for our K-2 scholars for Native American Heritage Month.  What a treat is was for our primary scholars!

 

Thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Damon, parents of 3^rd grader Frank Damon for the beautiful gift of two picnic tables for our scholars to enjoy.  The tables were not only donated but handmade and painted by Mr. and Mrs. Damon.  Thank you for such a creative gift!
