"Daisy Daily" for Faculty & Staff: Daisy Daily for the Week of April 29, 2019

Daisy Staff,

Thanks to all for a great week last week! We celebrated Earth Week in a variety of ways at each grade level and the celebration will continue this week in Grade 2.

Our Daisy Annual Art Show was extremely well-attended on Friday night, despite the rain. Thanks so much to Joe Biegaj for all his hard work and talents in getting our students' art work ready for the event!

Thanks, also, to so many staff members who joined us for the Art Show and for serving our students and families at the Ice Cream Social. A great time was had by all!

During Grade-Level Meetings this week, I am asking teachers to prepare Placement Cards for our students, as we will begin to construct Classroom Groupings for next year at Grade-Level Meetings during the week of May 6. Blank placement cards will be available in the office by Tuesday morning.

Important events this week and the weeks ahead:

Monday, April 29: Second graders will participate in a composting activity for Earth Day, at times as noted on our Staff Google Calendar.
