Time Flies When You Are Having Fun!

We have been busy at Stillwater! Over the past few weeks we have had so many exciting things happening. Here are a few highlights:

  • We celebrated Classified Employee Week, a great time to say thank you to all of the important people who support teaching and learning and keep our school running smoothly.
  • PTSA sponsored Missoula Children's Theater. Students auditioned, and then worked very hard to pull together a fabulous play, Robinson Crusoe, and performed it the next weekend!
  • The fifth graders spent a week at Camp Waskowitz in North Bend participating in Outdoor School. It was a week of learning and making lifelong memories.
  • Kindergarten orientation took place on March 26th. We welcomed next year's kindergarten parents to an evening of information and registration.

As we look ahead to the week following Spring Break, we are ready for Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL) testing. Third, fourth and fifth graders will be participating in the testing. This is an important time for students to "show what they know." Consistent attendance, sleep and a healthy breakfast are crucial for testing days. Thanks for your support at home!

I am thrilled as I look ahead to the next two months of school. We have much more excitement ahead!
