Hello Moose Community,
May is here so hopefully the April showers will end and the May flowers will start to bloom! This wet weather has not dampened our spirits, though, and children have been getting outside to play nearly every day. Please remember to pack appropriate outdoor weather clothing so they can continue to be comfortable outdoors.
The 35th Annual 6th Grade Spaghetti Dinner is coming up! Please buy and reserve your tickets from a 6th grader or in the office now! This tradition is a beloved event. The students turn into mustachioed waiters and the gym is transformed into a beautiful Italian restaurant. You don't want to miss this tradition that has been occurring for 35 years!!
There will be a large and comprehensive raffle with amazing gifts accompanying the spaghetti dinner! The PTO has been collecting and creating donations. Gift certificates, baskets of fun things, jewelry, and more will be available! Please come before or after your delicious spaghetti dinner!

In the month of April we collectively walked and ran 205 miles!! We have gone 1,934 miles total as a school. On our map in the front hallway we have made it all the way to Garden City, KS!! Our goal is to get to San Francisco which is a little over 3,000 miles away. We are 2/3 of the way there! With 1,000 miles to go, 31 days of school in May/June, 45 staff members and 126 students we each only need to walk or run 1-2 laps per day (or an average of this) to reach our goal!! Let’s do this!
