This week was filled with reflection and celebration! Yesterday’s Field Day was a huge success. Thank you to Mrs. Henderson and all of our parent volunteers for their efforts. Today, we started the morning with our 5th grade clap-in and celebration breakfast. We also had an assembly to celebrate our school year as a whole school community. We recognized our clubs, every grade level sang a song from their spring sing, and gave out a few awards.
