This week for Teacher Appreciation we are playing SURVIVOR! We have got some amazing staff completing their challenges, including the spectacular Mrs. Puckett completing the "Hungry Hungry Hippo" challenge. Let's hear it for our incredible teachers and all the things they do!

Mrs. Curley has selected Oliver Clark as student of the week. Oliver is super enthusiastic with all things he does. He participates, always tries his best, and is such a great helper in the classroom. He has definitely won the title of "super reader" this year, as he has put the work in when learning to read. Oliver is a great friend and always makes sure to help his friends when needed. I will miss his love for learning and goofy antics in the classroom. Great job buddy.
