We have been fortunate to have had such beautiful weather, and our Lower Schoolers are enjoying the sun as much as possible! We are also in the season of end-of-year events. Thank you for continuing to check Schoology for messages about plays, performances, and get-togethers as we celebrate a wonderful academic year. Recently, we hosted our final Lower School Parent Coffee of the school year. Special thanks to all parents who attended and added to our vibrant discussion, and to Dr. Audrey Wells, sleep expert, who shared her research and tips for home. Here are some reminders and updates:
Lower School CHAMP Updates

Our third graders presented their amazing state billboard projects and Ms. Petersen’s kindergarten class helped us celebrate the 143rd day of school (“I love you” day). We also counted the number of CHAMP stickers awarded to the children since we started our CHAMP positive behavior challenge, and the number is 561! The final CHAMP assembly of the school year will take place from 8:15-9 AM on Wednesday, May 21. Read More
