🥣✨ TK–2 Stone Soup Performance ✨🥣
Our TK–2 students did an amazing job in today’s Stone Soup performance! They worked so hard practicing their lines, songs, and movements, and it truly showed. The kids put on a lovely show, and it was such a joy to see their confidence and excitement shine on stage.
A huge thank you to Mrs. O’Connor for all the time, care, and dedication she put into working with our students and making this performance possible. We are so grateful for her efforts and for creating a special experience for our families to enjoy.
Thank you to all the families who came out to support our students, we loved sharing this special moment with you! 💛

Ski/Snowboarding season is upon us! Last day to sign up your student or sign up as a volunteer chaperone for the FREE Ski/Snowboarding program is this Friday the 5th. Sign up now before it's too late. If you sign up now, and later your student decides it's not for them, that's okay! Better to sign up and then cancel than to miss out entirely.

You can sign up your kiddo through this link:

Did you know there are green, golden, and even red kiwi fruits!?! This wonderful variety was delivered on Monday thanks to The Milkman and Happy Valley Fresh. Today Mrs. Shirley organized a fun taste test before morning recess. Students tasted and then marked their favorite. Tomorrow a graph will be created out of the data they provided.
The best part? Some of them discovered a new, healthy favorite! Some students thought they wouldn't like them at all, were happily surprised, and then asked to take some home to share with their families. Science, math, nutrition, and smiles. We count that as a win!

What a great turnout today for Haircut Day! With the overwhelming interest, not all students were able to receive a fresh cut. The generous barbers at Old Skool Barber Shop in Yreka are donating an additional day! How awesome is that! Wednesday next week, 11/12, they will arrive back on our campus. They aim to arrive at 9:00 am. The time it takes for each haircut varies due to the style requested as well as the student's ability to sit still - or lack thereof.
Here are a few pics from today's donated sessions. We appreciate our community partners!
Fresh permission slips will be sent home with the added date.
Please provide the office with confirmation for your student's ability to participate through email (staff emails on website), phone (530-235-4828), filling out the hard copy permission slip being sent home with students, or this link that brings you to a google form: https://forms.gle/HPy9oHBFwBnnvFxWA
