We are grateful to have received a generous $3,000 donation from the American Legion, which will be allocated to our student activity funds. These funds will support the purchase of student apparel and incentives to celebrate and encourage student achievement. Kindergarten transition visits were recently held and saw strong participation from parents and guardians. Our March student incentive event was a great success and thoroughly enjoyed by all who attended. Following Spring Break, the transition back to school went smoothly.

Good News Report
Our October Family Night was a success, drawing 176 students and their families for an engaging evening of fun and connection! The first round of Pearson testing for all grades has been completed. Fourth-grade students are thrilled to observe the transformation of their jack-o'-lantern. Placed in soil to decompose, "Pumpkin Jack," as the students affectionately call him, has now sprouted little pumpkin "babies." The class is eagerly watching his daily changes, captivated by the natural process unfolding before their eyes. Students throughout the building enjoyed the Halloween celebrations last month and older grades included a lesson on cultural celebrations including the Mexican holiday, Day of the Dead. Both Kindergarten classes and one First grade class met their unit Math goals.

Good News Report
KSA results have been released and we are first in the district!! We also scored higher than the state average in 5 out of 7 areas! The first incentive took place and students were super excited to throw water balloons at Mr. Mencsik and Mrs. Meyer. Positive office referrals are continuing to come in to the office. Parents and guardians have loved getting the phone call when their child has received the positive office referral. Fourth grade students were excited to witness the life cycle of a butterfly from the chrysalis to the butterfly. After watching the transformation, students released the butterflies wishing them safe travels on their migration. Our September Family Night was a success, drawing 35 students and their families for an engaging evening of fun and connection! The first round of MTSS for all grades is completed.

There have been five positive office referrals. Students are excited for the new positive referrals. We scored 100% on fire and health department inspections. The budget grew thanks to the School Board approving remaining 23-24 funds to be rolled over to 24-25 budgets.
