As we head into the final stretch of the school year, I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible energy and excitement that filled our halls in April. Discovery Day was a true highlight! With a space theme that sparked curiosity and creativity, students participated in a variety of workshops, including a high-energy PE session, rocket ship building in the classroom, a STEM activity, an outer space postcard creation, and a spectacular laser light show assembly to kick off the day. One of the most special moments was the creation of our new student-centered art mural, guided by Mrs. Clossey.
Looking ahead, May is a busy and meaningful month. Our third graders will take the NJSLA in English Language Arts and Mathematics. We look forward to showcasing student talents at our spring concert and art show. We will also gather as a school community for our annual Memorial Day Assembly, where we take time to honor and thank local veterans for their service.
June will bring celebration and joy as we wrap up the school year with end-of-year activities, including Field Day fun and special third-grade events. It’s an exciting time filled with memories in the making!
Wishing all of our families a joyful and successful end to the school year.
