The book fair last week was a resounding success!  Thanks to all of the volunteers and to the parents who supported our school by purchasing books for their children.  Both evening events with the ice-cream socials were lots of fun and we had many, many students in attendance.

This is going to be a busy and exciting week!  We have our biggest fundraiser, the FUN RUN on Thursday.  We will also be “unveiling” our new eagle mascot on that day, thanks to the efforts of one of our parents who is a graphic designer.  I’m looking forward to seeing the students’ reactions to the new, more child-friendly eagle!  Please come out on Thursday night, after the fun run, to either Wildflour or Cozumel to support our school while you eat.  I’ll stop by and then am off to the Assistant Principal/Principal of the year banquet that evening.

Professional Learning Teams (PLTs)  are well underway this year.  Staff are meeting each Wednesday to collaborate around learning and teaching.  I’m having my first “Principal Chat” of the year on Wednesday at 9:15 where I’ll be sharing our end-of-year test data from last year and discussing PLTs with parents this year.  I’d love for you to come have a cup of coffee and chat with me!
