KUDOS!!!
- THANK YOU to all of our TEACHERS!!!!!!!! We appreciate you more than you know and hope this past week of daily food options brought you a little bit of relief to your week as you did not have to worry about breakfast, or a snack, or lunch at times throughout the week!
- Remember... at some point (hopefully tomorrow) I will come around to each of the teachers (those I didn't get to) so you can pick a 10 dollar gift card that was donated to us for all of you from parents of some of the students!!! So... Teacher Appreciate Week really is not over yet!!!
- Though this is for 5th and 6th grade I thought Dawn Pachniak and our 5th and 6th grade band students deserved a shout out on an awesome virtual band concert! When you realize that our 5th graders have never played before it is pretty impressive to see!!! Below are two links to both concerts from the Dyer building and Karcher building! Enjoy!!!

Roman Reader's Theatre with Brad Ferstenou in 7th grade Social Studies!
Did you know you could make THIS from just toilet paper, water, and paint?!? I didn't either! Art with Jennifer Pelnar!
Math intervention with Sue Whittaker! She sure doesn't have some awesome math games focusing on specific skills for students!
Old Karcher Open House was a success on the two days we opened up the building to the public. If I had to guess I bet 500-600 people came through!
