Fantastic turnout of this year's K-12 ESL Parent Night! A huge thank you goes out to parents who were able to join teachers and admin and learn more about our Dragon Family! Parents attended workshops pertaining to Getting to Know Your Dragon Family, Technology, and information about the ESL Program! FCCLA students volunteered their time to watch children while parents attended workshops! Students and families were then treated to delicious ice cream from Holyoke's Las Chucherias ice cream shop! Lastly, each K-12 ESL student received their own book, Dreamers, and were asked to write a goal for the year! In ESL we DREAM BIG!!!
We wish to extend a heartfelt thank you to Seaboard Foods for yet again supporting our K-12 ESL events! Your generosity and support helps make these events an even bigger success! We would like to express our gratitude to ALL staff who were able to attend.

Miss Martin's 2nd graders had a friendly word race competition to practice words with different endings. They also had to put their math skills to use to find out their final scores!





From her days as a substitute teacher in 17-18 to now, Mrs. Kleve has worn the same 1/4 zip shirt each year for school picture day. "I only wear it twice a year," she said. Still want to order pictures? You can!
