PRINCIPAL’S PAWSE
Did you know that we handed out almost 500 awards for the first nine weeks
honor roll?  We held our award ceremony on Monday morning.  It was terrific
to see all of the children cheering for their classmates.  It was also nice
to see so many parents in attendance.  We encouraged all of the children to
set a goal for the next grading period!  Let’s try to hand out over 600
awards next time!
+Panther Pride (2 most improved students)-48
+Panther Cub (Perfect attendance with no unexcused tardies)- 228

Effort & Participation)- 111
+Gold Panther (All A’s & B’s and E’s in Behavior & Work/Study Habits)- 112

MOVING DAY!!!
Our fourth and fifth grade classes will be moving back into their permanent
classrooms next week. The HVAC renovation is complete and also new computer
internet drops have been installed.  We will continue the total school
renovation by moving on to the 700 building in approximately 1 month.  The
fourth and fifth grade teachers would really appreciate parent volunteers
to help with the move and setting up classrooms.  Contact your child’s
teacher if you are available to lend a hand.
