NOTES FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Everyone's spirits seem to rise higher each day with the warmer weather, the much needed rain, and the new spring buds. We are now heading into the final stretch....and it does feel like we are in a race! This is a very busy time of year so I urge you to check our calendar of events for concerts, field trips, recognitions, and many other activities!

NOTES FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Spring has sprung! While the temperatures are still cool, it is great to see the sunshine. Everyone returned from break looking rested and ready to go. We have many events to look forward to in the remaining weeks of the school year: field trips, Peter Pan Fair, Art Extravaganza, REACH Showcase, NWEA testing, MEA testing in science for 5th grade, surveys to complete as we look towards next year and finishing final projects. This is a busy time of the year. As our days grow longer, our students stay up later. Remember, it is important to make sure to get a good night's rest and to eat well to keep up with the busy schedules.

NOTES FROM THE PRINCIPAL
I love this time of the year as the lawns emerge from the winter snows. The children are able to enjoy the sunshine and the trees are budding. There is a new sense of hope and energy that arrives with spring which carries us through to the summer.
We are looking forward to the final trimester of the year as we enjoy our culmination of the year's studies along with the fair, concerts, field trips and field day!! Bring on the sunshine!!

Notes from the Principal
The Leprechauns ran wild over the weekend and most of the traps were sprung! But to our disappointment, we did not catch one.
Check out our new school facebook page. Please "like" the Helen Thompson Elementary School page so that you can see all the wonderful things that are happening at our school! Make sure it is the one with the picture of the school on it. This also is a great way for you to see reminders and upcoming events. I am hoping to see the number of 'likes' climb into the hundreds!
