Congratulations to Chanlie Busch and Carson Chew, two fifth grade students that were recognized this week for winning the PIE essay contest. PIE stands for Prevention, Intervention and Education on drugs, alcohol and tobacco.
Our 5th grade class recently visited the 5th grade class at Bainbridge. We are creating opportunities this year for our 5th grade students to get to know the classmates they will be with at the middle school next year. Transitions can be hard on students. We hope this will alleviate some of the fears and anxiety that come with the transition to middle school.
It was Mario Week last week in STEM. Students are learning about Pixels as well as sharing in the experience of playing an old video game. A lot of fun! Thank you Mrs. McVay for providing fun, educational learning experiences in STEM class.

Due to the driver shortage and in an effort to be more efficient, we have reworked a few bus routes. Starting Monday, Feb. 27, the new routing scheme will take affect. We have made every effort to contact parents who will be impacted. This will affect only a few stops and for most, the times will be within 5 minutes of the existing route, but some of the buses will change. The new information will be on MyStop so you can track the bus through the route. If there are any issues, please contact your student's school after 7:30 Monday morning.
