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.
