 Hear Ye, Hear Ye

• Teachers spent time welcoming our students back warmly and kindly.  We know that some of our students couldn't wait to get back to us.  Thank you for being the caring professionals you are each and every day!

• Shout out to Trisha C and Patrick S for advocating for their students!  Their students have the most testing to complete every year.  I appreciate that they advocate for them to have a schedule that will not over tax them and limit stress as much as possible.  Thank you!

• The 3K and 4K team has been working very hard at preparing to meet our new families.  The attention to detail, organization and the many ways that they are preparing to give families information, answer questions, and hopefully ease any anxiety for both kids and adults!

• 3K/4K Screening Days
• On Wednesday, April 10 there is a packed day of families with new 3K or 4K students coming in for the screening activities, see the classrooms, and meet staff.  For some, this will be there first time in a school.  I share this because there will be a number of visitors in the 3K/4K hallway. Dodgeland Den for grades 3K-5K will be relocated to the PLTW lab for the evening. On Thursday, the screening event will be held at the Reeseville Community Center from 4-6:30pm.  There are a number of open spots that evening if you know of anyone else that would like to attend.

Friday Funny

I have always been a very clumsy person.  I had some really dumb injuries as a child.  I broke my pinky toe running into my sister's heel racing to answer the phone.  (That was when it was a landline that was connected to the wall!) or I fell trying to do cartwheels in the kitchen and ended up on crutches for 3 weeks.  And, that is just a couple of klutzy moments.  However, when I came across this meme, I thought, "How true this is!"  Anyone else connect with this!  :-)

PS:  I am aware there is a typo, and I am doing my best to ignore it!
