High school students ran a soccer clinic with the First Responder's Care Program participants. It was a win-win for everyone, as the older kids couldn't run their clinic as scheduled with another group due to COVID-19 complications and the little ones enjoyed some fresh air. May 23, 2020 Lower School Principal Message JUNE 3 June 3 marks our last day of school and on this day, ALL Lower School will meet in a ZOOM meeting at 8:00am for our final appreciations. An email for registration will be sent on Monday, June 1st, and we hope you all join us for our "concluding circle." We will also have scheduled time for you to pick up your child's items from school (such as yearbook and personal items from the classroom) as well as to drop off library books, tech devices, etc.
PYP EXHIBITION A separate email will be sent to our 4th and 5th grade families on Monday to attend our PYP Exhibition evenings on May 27 and May 28 in Google Meet. Both evenings start at 5:30pm and we hope you all pop into as many rooms as possible and listen to the students in grade 5 share their topics.
GR 5 MOVING UP Our families in grade 5 will receive an email on Monday with directions to REGISTER for our ZOOM event at 1:30pm next Friday, 5/29. Please register and share the link to other family members to register as well. The registration helps prevent Zoom bombers from joining.
