We need your help!
“Fill the House” is underway. We currently have 54 seats sponsored for our new Performing Arts Center. (369 seats to go!) Consider how you, your family, a group of friends or business may be able to support this initiative. Seats sponsorships are $350/chair. For more information, click here.
If you are interested in participating in a class/grade-level sponsored chair, click here.
Food Pantry Help Our Food Pantry is quickly becoming depleted. Please consider sending some nut-free healthy
snacks to school with your Champion for his/her classroom. This will help our Food Pantry, but also keep students in class as we move through these
last 5 weeks of school that are PACKED with review and important end of year activities.
Support for the Weeks Family
At this time there are two ways you can support the Weeks Family:
● Weeks Family Go Fund Me ● Memorial Fund for Jason that will go
directly to the building of the Mountain Bike Trail: Jason Weeks Memorial

Attendance for students with work on display is optional as well. Art room needs: Yarn any color! Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd These champions are beginning a self portrait project. We are focusing on proportions.
PE K-2 The students are continuing to work on their soccer skills like dribbling, kicking and passing. The focus for the students is to be able to dribble a soccer ball while keeping control of their body and ball. The games that reinforce these skills are Dribble Tag and Tunnel Dribble. Thank you to all the families that participated in the teacher appreciation week. I really felt the love and appreciation from all. I was particularly touched by the personal cards the children sent. It meant so much to me to see that the children love coming to my class. Spanish 2-3 Our current unit is Quiero Hacer Ejercicio (I want to exercise). Vocabulary focuses on different ways to exercise. We finished our story so this week champions will match sentences to pictures in our Gallery Walk.
