Students Recognized with HEDGE Awards 

During our character education assembly today, where we learned about citizenship, Nancy Graham from the SPCA spoke to students with a special friend-- Grizzly the dog. Grizzly was all too happy to accompany her human to speak to students about the responsibility, caring, and compassion needed for pet ownership.

Students asked questions about Grizzly and how the SPCA operates. Ask your child if they remember what SPCA stands for, hopefully they can tell you!

Below are our HEDGE Award winners for the month of April. Congratulations to all these students who demonstrated patience and acceptance!

Tapping the Sap Right on School Grounds

Recently, our first grade students were treated to a morning spent with local maple syrup expert "Mr. G". He walked the classes outside and showed them how to tap a tree to get sap out. Upon returning to the classrooms, the students were shown how to boil down the sap and turn it into syrup. Everyone got to sample the sweet treat. Don't let the snow on the ground fool you, these pictures were only two weeks ago!

Spring Weather Reminder
Now that the snow has finally melted and the weather is warming, please remember that students will go outside for physical education classes and play time as much as possible. With the ground as wet as it has been, it's easy to get muddy while playing outside. Sending in a change of clothes is a great idea in case your child gets muddy! 

Have a great weekend,
