Message from Mrs. Jarvis, Principal
Our first Spirit Week was a success! It was great to see so many students and staff jumping in and having fun. My favorite day of the week was Thursday and listening to students share what they were thankful for during morning meetings. Our students truly know what is important in their lives (sisters, brothers, grandparents, and family) and that is a direct reflection of the amazing support, love, and values you are raising your children with.
Today, Mr. August G, 3rd grader in Mrs. Keegan’s class, was Principal for the Day. He assisted in morning announcements and morning walk-throughs greeting all students and staff one classroom at a time. From there, he assisted in the Turkey Trot, lunch and recess, and dismissal. Thank you Mr. G for your help today!
Here are some snapshots of our week together school-wide.
Flannel Day
Thankful For Day
1st Annual Turkey Trot
Each grade level participated in a Trot around the backfield and then had the opportunity to stay and cheer on another grade level to do their Trot. A great school-wide event to get all of us some exercise, show some sportsmanship and have fun.
We continue with two more days of spirit with Monday Color Wars and Tuesday School Spirit Wear.
