School's Out!


Thank you to all of our many wonderful volunteers who helped wrap up our year, whether it was being a chaperone to the Planetarium, taking down bulletin boards, or helping with field day.  As usual, your generosity with your time made all the difference for all of us!
 
Thank you for the many sweet and wonderful parting gifts.  I have loved working with all of your students and will truly miss them.  Every student has worked so hard to see successes.  They pushed themselves to grow in everything they did.  Learning truly mattered to them.  Thank you for all of your support and encouragement. 
Enjoy your summer together and try to sneak in a few quiet moments where reading can occur.  There are adventures in a book that can take place in your own backyard.  Sign up for the reading programs at Draper and Sandy libraries and even Barnes and Noble for free books and incentives.  Because we weren't able to finish Gregor the Overlander, by Suzanne Collins- that's a great place to start.  It is still one of my favorite series books.  It's all about becoming a hero and saving the world.  Who could ask for anything more!  If you find any great books to read, leave a comment on our blog and I will share that information with others looking for a new read.

So it's time to sleep in a little, play in some water, hike, bike, camp, play with friends, eat popsicles, count stars, make smores, and get lost in a book!  Be safe and have fun- see you in August!
