Dear Moose Community,
Spirit Week was such a success! Children and staff enthusiastically participated in the themed, dress-up days that the Student Council decided on this past week. Everyone had a lot of fun! See the photos below:
The Spring Book Fair is happening all next week with a special Family Night on Wednesday from 5:30-7:30pm. The PTO Meeting (Tuesday night from 7-8pm) and Parent/Guardian Conferences (Wednesday from 1-3:15 pm and Thursday from 1-3:15pm with an EARLY DISMISSAL FOR STUDENTS ON THURSDAY) are also happening in the coming week. Check the “dates to remember” for other upcoming field trips, meetings and assemblies!

***MOOSE INTERVIEW OF THE WEEK***
Irina from 1st Grade
JCB: What do you like best about our school?
IA: Art. I like playing with the clay. Right now we’re making meteors for Arts Night for a shooting star song.
JCB: What is your favorite day of Spirit Week?
IA: Crazy hair day!
JCB: If you could eat one thing, and only one thing, for the rest of your life, what would it be?
IA: This is the hardest question. I like so many things. I would say…um, I would say broccoli.
JCB: What would you like to be when you grow up?
IA: I haven’t decided yet, but I would say an actor. My brother wants to be an actor too.
JCB: What’s your favorite thing to do outside of school?
IA: Go to plays and be in plays!
