Our 27th Week of School!

We were VERY HAPPY and THANKFUL to have a few days of sunshine last week.  It’s amazing the difference this made in the mood throughout our building.   The first day of Spring in Thursday.  Although it may not feel like spring on March 20, each day that passes by brings us closer to warmer weather.

This week we welcome the parents of 2014-15 PK•K students at a Tuesday night round up meeting and on Friday, our fifth graders meet the staff at Baldwin Middle School, their first introduction to 6th grade.

Remember that we have Marco’s Pizza on Wednesday!

Here’s to a great week.  Mrs. Reagan

Conference Week Ahead

leoMarch has arrived…and it’s coming in like a LION:  Biting cold, wind and ariessnow.  We are hoping it goes out like a lamb…spring like, calm and a taste of warm temperatures.

Did you know that this piece of folklore is connected to astronomy — position of two constellations in the night sky?  In early March, Leo the Lion is crossing the meridian.   As March ends, Aries (the RAM) moves into the dominant position — about the time spring lambs are born and green grass is appearing…hopefully!

Parent/Teacher Conferences are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.    A great deal of time goes into completing the report cards and preparing for these 15 minute meetings.   I will be announcing the end times to help keep everyone on schedule.

If you have a 5th grader, they will be taking a standardized math test called the ITBS.  We also have JET’s PIZZA NIGHT and wrap up the week with POPCORN FRIDAY!

at Georgetown!   Even though it is FREEZING COLD and WINDY and SNOWY all around Georgetown, the inside is filled with 12 super special snow bound kids:  Aiden, Kaycie, Remi, Jordan, CJ, Evan, Dylan, Rachel, Jack, Alyssa, Sofia and Talia.  They have the gym, cafeteria, library and hallways ALL TO THEMSELVES because they were here for BEFORE SCHOOL CARE due to the delay.
