What a week! Coming off of 5th Grade Camp and 4th Grade Market Day, and having 6th Grade @ Kings Island and visiting Liberty and Hopewell Junior Schools, we are really moving and shaking! Our students did a wonderful job completing their MAP assessments and were able to have a little extra time outside enjoying playing with their friends in the sunshine. 

We are looking forward to 4th Grade's Field Trip and some classroom and school celebrations next week. A reminder, our last day of school for students is Thurs., May 22nd.

Have a wonderful weekend!
