Communications Chair Kirstin Sharp is proud to present Our Maycember Survival Guide to support you this May. View in browser to see videos from last year. (This guide will be updated as the month progresses, last update 5/3.)
- Monday May 4 - Chomp & Chat Regular Schedule Resumes - Please visit the overflowing lost and found while you are here.
- Monday May 4 2:30-3:00 - Drop Everything and Read - In honor of Mrs. McCarthy and in celebration of her birthday, our students and staff will have a dedicated Drop Everything and Read time on Monday. Mrs. McCarthy taught so many of our students to read that we thought a silent time of reading and reflection would be a fitting way to honor her. Her memory is certainly a blessing for us. If you have a moment on Monday, maybe you can take a little time to read and reflect in honor of our friend and teacher as well. ❤️
