A Message from Nurse Haley:
Parents, if your student has medication at the school (ADD, inhalers, epipens, etc), please remember to pick that up by the last day of school. We are not able to store medication over the summer, so these are required to be picked up by a parent.

Math is so fun, especially when it involves yummy candy! Mrs Traci’s 1st grade class began by making a “Picture Graph” to show their candy choices. They used the same data to complete a “Tally Table” and “Bar Graph.” They used their math vocabulary- compare, greatest and least to answer questions about the graphs..
