Principal's Post

We have had a wonderful start to the year- our Miner Bees have come ready to learn! I have a feeling they will be a bit tired this weekend! (Teachers too!)

Congratulations to the following students for their extra work over the summer. The students listed below completed either their Reading Log and/or their Summer Workbook. (If the student has an * next to their name, they exceeded the reading requirements for their grade level) All students on this list received their Golden Ticket, with a special invite to our ice cream sundae party on the playground. It was soooo fun!! Thank you to the parents for your learning support over the summer!

Spanish Summer Choice Board

Please have your student(s) bring in their completed Spanish Summer Choice Boards and give them to their Spanish teachers!
These were mailed home with all DI and Traditional students in May! It was an optional activity, but we would love to honor those that completed the summer work!
 
Por favor, pida a sus alumnos que traigan sus tableros de opciones de verano de español completados y se los entreguen a sus profesores de español.
Estos se enviaron por correo a todos los alumnos de DI y tradicionales en mayo. Era una actividad opcional, pero nos encantaría premiar a aquellos que completaron el trabajo de verano.

This year’s theme is “Be The Light” and the kids will be singing some of your favorite holiday songs at our December concerts!
  • Some classics will include Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer and This Little Light of Mine
  • We have some fun alternative holiday songs as well... I'll keep those a secret for now
  • I also want the kids to have a voice in their song choice, so I have a short list for them to look at and help decide the remaining 1-2 songs
It's going to be a great season with a lot more stage time for the kids!

Please see the info flyer attached and make sure to register your kids using the link on the flyer ASAP so we know who will be joining us this season.
