HAPPY MAY DAY!
Congratulations to our Grade 5 Track Stars!  They endured the hot sun and pouring rain on Friday at the track meet and did a great job!  
Grades 3-5 students:  Good Luck with your SBA test for ELA this week!  Be sure to get a good night’s sleep, eat a good breakfast, come to school on time and focus on those questions!  Read carefully and check your responses!  We know you will do a great job!
Students, please leave all of your toys at home.  This includes your fidget spinners that you have been playing with before and after school.  A+ has been notified and will also not allow them to be played with after school.  
This is the last week of our after school club programs.  We hope you enjoyed these fun opportunities to extend your learning!  Thursday, May 4 will be the last day!  Check out the Glee Club in the cafe at 3pm on Thursday-they will be performing for A+.

Have a great week!

This Wednesday marks Administrative Professionals Day, and we want to take a moment to sincerely recognize and thank our exceptional office staff. Their dedication and support extend far beyond the expected, touching every corner of our school. From cheerfully greeting families – both the friendly and the more challenging – to ensuring the smooth execution of every event, our office team is truly the backbone of our school. They arrive early, stay late, manage our supplies, process our paychecks and scan our lunches, and, above all, always help to ensure the well-being of our students. Thank you for all that you do! In addition to celebrating our administrative professionals, this week we also gratefully acknowledge the vital contributions of our campus volunteers. Our PCNC, Kilohana Motas, and our active PTA work tirelessly to create meaningful volunteer opportunities that benefit our entire school.
