March Math Madness!

Gosh! Where has the time gone? It's already March and April will be coming upon us very soon.

If you didn't get to attend the Gala on March 3rd, let me tell you what a wonderful time everyone had. The atmosphere was elegant and the company of all the parents and staff was heartfelt. The committee chairpersons and committee members did an outstanding job in raising money for our students. I heard that we will be able to purchase 9 more Smartboards and a number of other items for our classrooms next year. Thank you for all who were able to attend and support it and we all hope more of the parents can come next year because we missed you!

Murphy the Mustang has been very busy supplying math exemplars to the classrooms. The classrooms with the most solved problems will will a prize. Natalie, Lori, and I love this approach to encouraging our school to get excited about math and learn that it's okay to be challenged.

The PTA helped celebrated Staff Appreciation week with student activities to honor their classroom teacher. This was such a nice way to honor our hard working and dedicated staff. Thank you on behalf of all of our teachers.

Spring break (April 2-8) is fast approaching. Natalie, Lori, and I wish you a safe and happy break. Our students and teachers really deserve this respite!

Please keep on practicing the CRCT on-line tests. The more familiar the students are of the procedures and routines the more comfortable they will be when taking the test. We want to eliminate test anxiety!!
