Message from Dr. Breuder:
Happy almost-April! It is hard to believe the month of March is coming to a close….I do love this time of year when the weather starts changing. As someone who grew up in the Pacific NW, I am used to the rather erratic weather we can have in the spring, with fluctuating temperatures and weather patterns. That said, it is beautiful and am always happy to see the spring flowers and colors.
This last week we had a Women’s History Month assembly, which was also a spirit day. It was great to have the entire K-8 school together in one space.
I was able to spend a couple of days in the middle school STEM-lab class, as staff were invited to be judges on their version of Shark Tank. What a fun way to see the inventions that students came up with in this class!
This week we send our 5th-graders off to Nature Bridge for their overnight outdoor education experience. Thank you to the 5th-grade teachers for planning this trip and thank you to the parent chaperones for all your help! We are sending good-weather-vibes your way as you head off to Nature Bridge!
