Dear Students: Welcome to Spirit Week! Plan out your outfits and get involved. Remember that you need to wear the school uniform if you do not dress in the theme of the day, and that uniform guidelines still apply (no spaghetti straps, no sagging pants, etc.). This week you will see groups of Grade 4 and Grade 5 students in the Middle School. They will be visiting to see what Middle School has to offer. They are excited to join us next year so please make them feel welcome. We hope to see everyone at the MS Party on Friday, May 22. It’s the last party of the year so let’s make it a good one! Ms. Fredericks and Ms. Sayson
