Today our chess club competed in a chess tournament! They worked so hard for this moment and had a lot of fun. We are so proud of their focus, sportsmanship, and determination as they competed. Great job, chess club!

Miss Shelley's class at Mountain Man got to catch goldfish, Test their balance against a friend, Draw Maps, pan for gold, eat yummy snacks and so much more. The students earned Beaver pelts the last month to be able to play the goal and get prizes at the trading post. It was so fun!

Mark your calendars for Summer Library at Foothills!

Happy Principal’s Week to our favorite principal! Each day we journeyed through a different land at Disney, enjoying fun treats and making magical memories together. We feel so lucky to have a principal like Mrs. Stoddard, whose leadership, kindness, and dedication make our school such a special place. Thank you for all you do to support our students and staff; you truly make a difference every single day!

We had so many Falcon winners this week! Our board is filling up with students making amazing choices, and we couldn’t be prouder. On Monday, our winners enjoyed Dole Whip with Mrs. Stoddard in celebration of Principal’s Week, and today they had a blast playing in the Falcon Fun Room. Keep up the great work, Falcons!

Congratulations to Dominic Stosich, our 4th Grade Kindness Award recipient! His teacher shared, “Dominic is incredibly kind. He always wants to help others in the class who might need it. He never complains about anything and is incredibly hardworking. He loves to see others smile and laugh, so he is always positive and bubbly. He wants to learn, which makes being his teacher very happy. He has only been in our class since January, but he blends in seamlessly, and I can't imagine the class without him.” Great job, Dominic!
