- Spring Bluejay Huddle - On May 9th we had our Spring Assembly! Many Spring clubs and sports were recognized! Thank you to those coaches who came to celebrate with us and those coaches who weren't able to make it but were there in spirit! We had a fun competition of "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Cup!" Students did an awesome job cheering on their classmates! They also did a FANTASTIC job cheering on some of the teachers in our surprise inflatable costume race! Our very own Pink Unicorn (aka Mrs. Dorow) took first place! Thank you to our very own 5th grade team for putting this together!

The rain did not stop Mrs Christian's 5th grade class from exploring the great outdoors! What a fun lesson about water ecology and how to be safe canoeing and kayaking! They didn't catch any turtles, but they did have a special guest, Mr. Murray!
