Yealey Families,
What a great week we've had here at school! It was so nice to be able to continue some of our May traditions this year. First grade had their Fairy Tale Ball for the first time since our current 4th graders were in 1st grade. Almost everyone has had their Lincoln Woods day and the weather was perfect this week! Third grade will be going Monday - so fingers crossed this weather holds. Thanks again to the PTA for providing Dreamy Whip ice cream treats for the kids while they're at the park.
We completed state testing this week. Thanks to everyone for working hard and doing their best. It was a crazy testing week with a fire alarm in the middle of the test but we handled that great and hopefully everyone could focus when they returned to the room!
Next week we will have our talent show Thursday evening 6:00 - 7:15. This is always one of my favorite nights. You have some very talented kids and I love to see them show their talents off!
Friday is the last day of school for this school year. I am so proud of the progress the kids made this year. Coming off a year of virtual and hybrid instruction was hard. I feel like we saw a lot of growth in all the students as they figured out how to do school again and build their stamina for a rigorous schedule. I can't wait to see everyone back in August after you take time to sharpen the saw. I just know they will be rested, rejuvenated, and ready to learn!
Be sure to click on the First Aid Room page to see updates about medication and health conditions from our school nurse, Mrs. Stoner.
Make sure you have plans to attend the back to school fair on August 11th 4:00 - 7:00. At this event, you will meet your teacher, see your classroom, and we are hoping to host our schoolwide potluck again (as long as Covid restrictions aren't back). Watch for more information about this night coming out in July. I will send an email and post info on our social media accounts and website.
I will also be posting a fun geography hunt on our social media accounts during my summer trip this year. I always take the Bobcat along with me and this year I'd love to have kids following along and making guesses where he's traveling. I think there will be lots of things to learn and see on this year's trip.
Also, make sure to come see us during our summer open library times. Here is the schedule:
June 9th and 23rd. July 7th and 21st. The library will be open 11:00 - 12:30 and 5:00 - 6:30 each of these days.
This will be my last blog update for the year. Please remember to watch email and social media for summer updates. And from the bottom of my heart, thank you for allowing me to serve your families as principal. It's the best job in the world!
Mrs. Turner
