Enjoy your Spring Break! School will resume on Monday, April 11th.
Mrs. Smith's 1st grade class is reading their way into Spring Break!
Today we welcomed two WatchDOGS into the Early Elementary. These guys lead a great game of Red Light Green Light during recess. I know the student enjoyed having this duo at the school. They were both here for Miss Day's 2nd grade student. Ben Stermer is her father and Gregg Flint is a close family friend. Thank you both for dedicating your day to our students!
Mr. Mathew Baleja, who is also a teacher at PPHS, was our WatchDOG on Monday. Mr. Baleja is the father of Mrs. Dalton's kindergarten student. We enjoyed having you at our school and would love for you to volunteer again!
Mr. Joseph White is the father of 2 of our students who happen to be twins! Joseph volunteered at our school and helped celebrate his daughter's birthdays. He was with us on Friday and again on Monday. Mr. White enjoyed seeing the kids in the classrooms and loved how happy they were to see him. Thank you for your time!
Last week we had a WatchDOG visit our students for a second time. This man is not only the grandparent of 2 students but also holds the title of Mr. Kalamazoo! Thank you Mr. Scott Williams for donating your time to our students. He truly is dedicated.
Everyone is Mrs. Tapper's class worked on a shared experience during bridge building. The next step will be reflecting on the experience on a planning guide before writing their personal narratives based on the activity. There was a lot of trial and error! This was also a great team building opportunity as they had to talk through their thinking and the process to work together to build one bridge that would hold a cup of items.
Did you know winter sports practices run past 9 p.m. most evenings due to lack of practice space at the high school? One goal of the May 3 bond proposal is to reduce late evening practice times by building a multipurpose addition at the high school. #BuildTogetherPawPaw

If you haven't heard from your student already, our school had a very special visitor this week! On Tuesday Miss Southwest Michigan, Shelby Lentz, was a guest on our morning announcements and read to our students. Shelby is an amazing talent. She sang the chorus of her song Champion during announcements and read the students her book, Brave Breanna. Look this young woman up, you will be very impressed with her music and her book. As Miss Southwest Michigan, Shelby had the chance to compete in the Miss Michigan Pageant. We wish you luck Shelby and thank you for spending a good part of your day with us at the Early Elementary!
