Hello Third Grade Families,
Thank you to Mrs. Malham, Mrs. Burns, Mrs. Domzal, Mr. and Mrs. Morelock, Mr. and Mrs. Kelliher, Mrs. Mosqueda, Ms. Samars for joining us on our FEED MY STARVING CHILDREN fieldtrip. The students had a great time and did an AMAZING job packing food for needy countries.
The theme for our THIRD GRADE FAMILY picture wall in May will be Mother’s Day. Pictures should include your child and their mom. Please send in pictures starting Monday May 1st.
This week we had an all school PBIS assembly instead of drawing a classroom winner. During every PBIS all school assembly Mr. Porod and Mrs. Schaefer pull a winning ticket from among grade levels (pre3 to K, 1st to 3rd, 4th to 5th, and 6th to 8th) to give them a large TY stuffed cardinal. This PBIS assembly our very own Grace Keeley’s name was drawn. Congratulations Grace!!
