Good Evening! I hope everyone had an amazing day! Here are today's announcements​ in case you missed them. https://youtu.be/UhWPMZPVbuQ Send in your pictures of grit! Today Ms. Jessica asked for everyone to check out examples of grit in nature - the weather wasn't the best, but I hope you were able to enjoy some fresh air. I am currently thinking the snow is pretty gritty - it just won't stay away! Paper packet pick up on Friday, April 24th from 11-12:30 in the K-8 parking lot. We look forward to seeing everyone that has requested a paper packet. If you need a paper packet, please email your teachers or the office.

This morning we tried to live stream announcements for the first time, and there were some kinks. Some people had issues viewing it, we did not get the announcements recorded, etc. We are going to try again tomorrow morning at 8 am to live stream the announcements. We appreciate your patience as we try new things to keep everyone involved and up to date. Below you will find: viewing tips, a link to tomorrow's live stream, a static copy of the announcements (which we hope to link a recording of the stream to), and a sheet on the Yellow Jacket Trait of the Week. This week's trait is Be Connected to Other Yellow Jackets #ONEHIVE. Parents can nominate their students for Yellow Jacket of the Week by sending me an email on Thursday. There is more information in the announcements. As always - keep working on the Work from Home Challenges, reaching out to your teachers, and send us pictures!! We love the community we are building even though we are apart. Tips for Viewing: If you click the link from Facebook or your device - your student will need to log into their Google account to view, but you can view once they log in. If you click the link from a device that is logged into a student Google Classroom account it should open automatically.
