CELEBRATION OF STUDENT WORKS

On June 13th and 14th, the faculty and students presented a Celebration of Student Works. The event took place in the school cafeteria and many parents and community members joined us for the celebration. All visitors were invited to join in assessing the students' works by completing benchmark assessment forms on individual works. These assessments will be added to our accountability plan.

On both days, Jen, our music teacher, led the students in a spring concert. On June 13th the students sang our school song for the first time. They dedicated the song to Taeko, Jay and Mary Theresa.

Sensi Irv, our Aikido teacher and students from grades 4/5 demonstrated their skills for the audience.
