Congratulations!
Way to go Christa Hoskins for winning the eleven year old intermediate class and the All-Round Title at the Washington State Rec-Opt Gymnastics Championships this past weekend. Christa placed 1st on the balance beam, floor exercise and vault. She came in 2nd on the uneven parallel bars. Awesome Christa!
Thank You
Our student leadership team participated in an after-school field trip to Hope Link. Students and families contributed almost $900. in cash and 14 boxes of canned food They delivered the goods and helped stack the food. We have a very generous community. The following students participated in the field trip: Tess Pate, Rachel Imhof, Ashley McGee, Samantha Ruskell, Christa Hoskins, Sonia Ionescu, and John Jacobson.
Great Work
Our 4th grade math team won 1st place at the Math is Cool master’s competition in Spokane. The winning team members were Abhi Sivaprasad, Irina Tolkova, Jonah Joughin, and Monisha Weerasundara. This is a huge accomplishment, since they were competing against the highest 4th grade math teams in the state.
Yearbooks
A few folks have asked if they can still purchase yearbooks and the answer is yes. However, there is a limited supply. There will be two PTA folks selling yearbooks at morning recess and lunch recess on Monday, June 16th and Tuesday, June 17th. Again, once they are sold, that’s it.
