Happy May!
As we step into the final month of the school year, there is a special energy in the air—one filled with reflection, celebration, and anticipation. We are so grateful for the partnership, support, and encouragement you’ve shown throughout the year. Your involvement has made a meaningful difference in your child’s learning and in our school community as a whole.
May is a time when we take pride in how far our students have come. We see their growth not only in academics, but also in confidence, friendships, and resilience. It is also a time when we gently begin to look ahead—finishing strong, celebrating accomplishments, and preparing for a restful and joyful summer.
Over the coming weeks, students will be engaged in meaningful learning experiences, end-of-year assessments, and special activities that honor their hard work and progress. We encourage families to help students stay focused, maintain routines, and enjoy these final moments of the school year.
Thank you again for being such an important part of our school family. We are looking forward to finishing the year together on a high note.
Best,
LLyons

Do you ever wonder how you can help your child be more successful in his/her school work? The answer is this simple -- READ!
Read with your children. Read to your children. Let them see you enjoy reading time yourself, and especially, listen to them read aloud to you.
We know you hear this recommendation from us over and over again, but it truly is a huge factor in academic success.
