Welcome to this week's edition of the Magic Minutes! We're excited to share the latest happenings and updates from our school community to keep you informed and engaged.

We finished up the final round of our 3rd grade visits to Safety Town, providing students with valuable, real-world safety experiences.

We wrapped up the NYS ELA Assessment for our 3rd and 4th grade students this week, and our 5th graders will finish on Monday. Thank you to our students for their focus and perseverance, and to our staff, students and families for your patience and flexibility as we worked through a few testing hiccups along the way.

Our 5th grade students are on their way to enjoy a trip to the Vanderbilt Planetarium, where they will be engaging in a meaningful extension of their science learning.

Today is School Lunch Hero Day, and we want to give a special thank you to our amazing cafeteria staff for all they do each day to take care of our students. We are so grateful for their hard work and dedication!
