Week of March 24. 2025

Your spaces and our school look AMAZING and I am so proud to show off our school tonight.  Our parents will be bragging about all of you!!!  HOORAY!  You made it to Spring Break.  Please enjoy taking time for yourself over the week.  Travel.  Sleep in.  Read a book.  Binge watch some TV.  Do what makes YOU happy!  You have EARNED IT! 

DID YOU KNOW:

• we will clean out the lounge fridges at 1:00 on Friday?  Please make sure you get your items so they are not discarded. We don't want any Science projects growing!! 
• you will want to set your auto replies for Spring Break?  Don't forget!
• what this means?  ENJOY the remainder of the year.

OPEN HOUSE

We are excited to host Open House tonight.  Front and rear doors will be unlocked for entrance at 5:30 PM.  This is a "come and go" event, so parents can stay as long as they need to during this hour.  Don't forget to invite parents to stop by the cafeteria to see the beautiful artwork our learners have created.  Please plan to dress professionally for the Open House event.  Thank you, Kara, for stepping into Green 1 for this evening.

COLOR RUN

Please feel free to wear warm ups or shorts for the Color Run.  Sonic drinks will be delivered from PTO (thank you Angel and PTO).  We will make an announcement when they are ready for you to pick up in the teacher's lounge.  Thank you ALL for your support and participation!!

PLEASE SHARE WITH PARENTS:  Our learners may have crossed the finish line on Friday, but there’s still time to donate!  The House Class competitions are open through Spring Break, closing on Sunday, March 17th!  Visit bit.ly/RJLColorRun to donate.  Proceeds directly fund Field Day, with all remaining funds going to our PE department!

NO SCHOOL

There will be no school March 17-21.  See you back safely on March 24.
