PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
Thank you to Ms. Robles and all our families who
participated in our Virtual STEM Night for grades 3-5. Our
Husky engineers showed great creativity working on the
Rescue Rover challenge as well as building an umbrella that
could keep a tissue dry.
Please remember any Valentine cards must be sent in sealed
bags by Tuesday, February 9th. Classroom teachers will
provide additional information on Valentine celebrations.
As always, we try and go outside each day for a little fresh air
and to have our snacks. Please dress your child
appropriately each day.
Enjoy the Super Bowl with your families!
HUSKIE HAPPENINGS
Pre – K and 1st Grade spread some love.
