Thank you!
This week is National Paraprofessional Week! We want to take the time to recognize and celebrate our paraprofessionals. These staff members give so much to our students and support so many areas in the school. We appreciate you and hope you have a great week!

STEM News
April Family STEM Challenge
Join our April Family STEM Challenge! After listening to the featured story, work with your family to design and build a soft landing capsule that will protect an egg landing on the moon. Then test your design at home to see if your egg survives the landing! To keep things clean, place your egg in a Ziplock bag before testing. When you're done, you may bring your clean, egg-free capsule to school or a photo of your family testing the design.
Important: Please do not bring raw eggs to school—that would be a real outer-space level disaster!
Due: April 28
