Spring is certainly in the air, with brighter mornings and longer days of sunshine. We’ve been enjoying some warm April weather, and hopefully that continues into May. Students and staff are continuing to work hard, and we still have much to accomplish in these final weeks. April was full of exciting events, including our 5th grade field trip to Camp Killoqua, multiple concerts, and author visits. We also had a fantastic turnout for our PTSA STEAM Night. Thank you to all the families that volunteered to make it such a successful night. Starting next week, 5th grade students will start their SBA testing. Please refer to our weekly newsletter for the full SBA testing schedule.

As we continue to learn about and implement the 7 Habits as staff and students here at school, this month I want to briefly introduce you to Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw.

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw reminds us that we are more productive when we are in balance—body, brain, heart, and soul. Just like four tires on a car, if one area is being ignored or overused, the rest will feel the results. For young children, the car analogy is one they understand; a car could not go on fewer than all four tires. We talk about how each part of a person (body, brain, heart, and soul) is important, and how taking care of each one helps everything work better.

Thank you for your continued support as we work together to ensure a strong and successful May!

Jack Sackett, Principal
