Flying R Winners! These ten students are our latest Flying R winners. Staff can nominate students for any good thing that they witness a student doing. All nominated students get their name , deed, and the staff member that nominated them, announced during their lunch period. Those names go into a random grid and once we get a row filled in, they win a big prize and we start all over again. These students each won a beach bag, beach towel, sunscreen, and a bag of treats. Congratulations to Elvis Purtee, Dillan Bowman, Kelsey Burt, Julia Meade, Ashley Roach, Morgan Shockey, Chance Magoto, Damien Smith, Westin Bower, and Gabe Steineman!

Parents, next week is Staff Appreciation week and we would love to deliver a thank you message to any teacher or staff member for you! Please use the link below and we will make sure that staff member receives the message. We have the absolute best staff so please make them feel loved next week! https://forms.gle/MfQCXHcxq5PGumwn8

EAB developed a Chronic Absenteeism Collaborative to help superintendents hardwire effective parent communications and reduce chronic absenteeism. For more information please visit eab.com/resources for more Attendance Checklist “Nudges”.

Talent Show is Friday! Good a luck to all performers. 😃

Morgan Shockey is stepping up to make a difference! She’s putting together a fundraiser to support education in foreign countries, and we couldn’t be more proud to support her. Let’s rally behind her efforts and show what the power of community can do. Every day, 98 million children in Africa miss out on an education simply because they can't afford basic school supplies—even something as small as a pencil. You can help make a difference! From April 28th through May 2nd, donate pencils to your homeroom or PLANK teacher to support children in need. And here’s the fun part—the class that brings in the most pencils will win a sweet prize: donuts or ice cream!

This week- rhythm sticks and boomwhacker work. 🎶
