May arrives this week. Impossible!

Last week was a great week! I loved the rally with our Pennies for Patients donation, honoring one of our own 5th graders for being a spelling beast and the entire (well almost) house competition!! Not to mention all of the field trips our students were experiencing. Guess what?? There is more to come!

This week is another big week. The Carnival is Friday! Be sure to get you parent volunteers signed up and the class baskets finished. I know it is more work for you but it is appreciated by all. I am looking forward to my first.

We have our 1st Annual State Float Parade tomorrow at 1:15pm. This particular float happens to be a personal favorite of mine. Go Pack Go!!

Happy Sunday!

Welcome back! (Almost) I hope each of you found time to relax and recharge over break. This time of year can get very hectic and our focus is often split between this year and next. Don't forget to take time to celebrate the growth your students have made and the communities you have built in your classrooms. All of that is because of you! 

Reminder: Tomorrow, Monday, is our PD day. See here for where to report in the morning. Afternoon will be at Stoneridge in the MP.

As we all saw, our musical, Aladdin, was amazing! Keeping with tradition, it rivals a Broadway production. Thank you to the Directors: Mandy Rupert, Melissa Oxenham, Shannon Nelson, JeriAnn Caines and Laurel, from Roseville High School. Both they and the students worked incredibly hard and the outcome was a phenomenal show!

Aladdin in action!

Nuts and Bolts:

* Articulation Cards were put in your box before break. Please work on getting them filled out. I will let you know when we are going to put classes together as soon as I know! 

* Open House next year~ Right now, it looks like March is in the lead. I will give everyone one last chance to cast their vote and then let you know when it will be. 

* Staff Meeting on April 24th will be dedicated to Houses. We will look at applications and outline/clarify responsibilities.
