3/23/2018

What a great time of year for fun celebrations! We are so proud of our students for taking action with causes they believe in, committing to sports along with academics, and for coming to school ready to learn! Thank you to our dedicated staff members for great learning experiences, coaching, and for sharing their hobbies/interests/culture with students giving them many more reasons to GET TO SCHOOL!! 

I hope everyone has a wonderful spring break and comes back ready to show their knowledge as we begin our Ohio State Testing for reading and math. As a former parent once told my class, "This is your opportunity to show what you know."
Explorers, you know a lot!!

​See you back on April 3rd.

Happy spring!

6th grader, Layla Yarbrough recited Langston Hughes' poem, Dreams during our All School Morning Meeting

Dreams
Langston Hughes, 1902 - 1967

Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.
