COUNSELING NEWS

In my counseling lessons we have been working on our career journals! It’s a special project that each grade level starts in kindergarten and will complete when they are in 5th grade! Students are having a blast discussing all the things they might become when they grow up!

Dear Families,
As we celebrate the 2024–2025 school year, we are excited to invite you to our End-of-Year Picnic! The picnic will take place on Thursday, May 22nd, from 12:00 PM to 12:45 PM. During this time, classes will gather outside on the field in designated areas marked by large helium balloons for each grade level.
If you haven’t already filled out the form, please do so as soon as possible.
