GOOD DAY EVERYONE! This is Dr. Wheeler with a brief announcement about a summer enrichment program for all of our rising first, second, third, fourth and fifth grade students. A "Summer Bridges" booklet will be sent home with each child to be completed over the summer. Students who return the booklet completed at the beginning of next year will be eligible for special events and gifts. Students who were in the Math SSA Program will receive a booklet commensurate with their math skills. This summer enrichment program was made possible through the generosity of a school parent. Thank you so much!! Finally, the last day of school is Monday, June 8th. We will have our Fourth Quarter / End of Year Quality Assembly on the last day of school, June 8th. Report cards will be sent home with the students at the end of the day.

Cookouts, lunches, and/or treats will be held in the amphitheater and the playground will be used for physical activities. Thank you for working with us to keep our students safe, healthy, and happy.
