Four things support the world: the learning of the wise, the justice of the great, the prayers of the good and the valor of the brave.

I shared that quote with all of our students at the end of the day yesterday when I made a brief Memorial Day message just before playing Bus Bingo and dancing our way through dismissal on Friday...ok...very few students dance...but I repeatedly get positive feedback on the fact we play music. Anyway, we took a moment to pause and remind everyone of the purpose of Memorial Day and that at this time we should be remembering all of the medical professionals and other everyday heroes who have sacrificed their lives throughout this past year to protect us and our wellbeing. I encouraged them all as they go through the weekend, to take time to listen to the stories of those around them and show their gratitude and respect for the acts of valor that have helped shape our world as we know it.
When we come back from the long weekend, we will only have the equivalent of three weeks of school left. Our phenomenal SBPTO and Gr8 teachers have been planning a variety of events and activities for our Gr8 students for the last few days of school. Once all of those logistics are finalized we will share all of that information with everyone. Between a large celebratory Block Party type event, a wonderful Field Day event, and a school-wide awards presentation, our Gr8 students will have an activity filled last three days of middle school.
To that end, please read the following information for our SBPTO:
