Dr. Bailey comes to my health class each semester giving the students an excellent presentation on oral health, especially covering the affects of smokeless tobacco. Each semester Island Market has allowed me to bring my class to the market during our nutrition unit expanding student’s knowledge of reading labels and comparison hopping. Paige McCormick has generously led my Fitness for Life class in three weeks of Jazzercise. Paige’s enthusiasm ensures that the students will have a productive and fun three weeks. I would also like to thank Kari Shah and Nancy Wrightsman who will be driving the Fitness for Life class to the lakes so
we might use the tails to run. Through the generosity of these people my classes are able to have an increased experience in class. Happy May Day from the Library! We have had a successful year in the library, with new books, award winners, contests, and sharing of much creativity. We have been very fortunate to receive a generous grant from the Sir Francis Bacon Foundation, as facilitated by Richard Fadem, for new computers, a Smart Board and Smart Response System that will benefit all classes on our campus. Additionally we have been the recipient of many hours of volunteer time to keep our library running. Thank you Perri Gibbons, Ann Lister, Kiki Coe, Michelle Kostchecko, Liam Paige, Esther Doss, Alexa Cuthbert, and the PTSA for hosting the bookfair, which provides numerous books for the library. Please consider volunteering in the library next year as a way to contribute to our school. Please remember, as the year comes to a close, that our library books are precious for all students and find books that are missing or pay for the replacement cost of books that are lost. The last day to check out books will be Friday, June 3 and all books are due back to the library by Friday, June 10. Students who have outstanding books or fines will not receive their report cards until the account is cleared. Notices will be sent home during the last weeks of the school year. Have a wonderful summer of reading and relaxing, talking about books, and enjoying our wonderful place.
