Month of the Military Child (MOMC) Celebration We are thrilled to announce that we will kick off our MOMC celebrations with a clap-in/cheer-in on Tuesday, April 8 at 8am. Parents and students are encouraged to bring clappers, whistles, signs, and anything else to make our students feel special. We have many exciting activities planned throughout the month, so stay tuned for more details!
Spirit Week When we return from spring break, we will have a fun-filled Spirit Week to celebrate our school spirit and unity:
- Tuesday: Patriotic Day
- Wednesday: Purple Up Day (every Wednesday in April)
- Thursday: Hero Day
- Friday: School Spirit Wear
Lost and Found We encourage everyone to check the lost and found for any missing items. The lost and found is located in the main hallway, and we have accumulated quite a collection of items that need to be claimed.
Pre-K Spotlight This week and last week, our Pre-K students dove into the theme of buildings through fun and engaging activities across all stations! In the Library, they explored books about different structures. Outside, they took a walk around our school to notice and document its features. With blocks and art, they used real building images to spark their creativity. In Toys and Games, they built structures with interlocking blocks, Lego skyscrapers, and even Hula Huts with hula hoops. We learned about tools, hard hats, and safety while building, read The Three Little Pigs, and created a chart about what we know about buildings. Teachers carefully documented each child’s discoveries and insights throughout the week! Check out the pictures below.
Thank you for your continued support and dedication to our school community. Let's make the rest of the school year memorable and full of joy!
🎉 Happy Retirement, Ms. Negley🎉
It is bittersweet that we announce the retirement of Charlotte Negley, who has dedicated over 40 years to the federal government and has been a DoDEA teacher for 35 years.
Throughout her remarkable career, Charlotte has touched the lives of countless students, colleagues, and families with her unwavering commitment and passion for her students. Her contributions have been invaluable, and her legacy will continue to inspire us for years to come.
We invite everyone to join us in celebrating Charlotte's incredible journey and wishing her all the best in her well-deserved retirement.
Thank you, Charlotte, for your dedication and the profound impact you have made on our community. You will be greatly missed, but we are excited for you as you embark on this new chapter of your life.
