Student Showcase
When: Thursday, May 16th
Where: Peake Cafetorium
What: Student Showcase, featuring student work and performances inspired from around the world
The Specialists Team is planning an evening student showcase that will feature student work, presentations, and performances inspired by travel and different places in our world. We plan to incorporate literature, art, music, world records, and dance. Each grade level will have its own time to be featured (5:00 PM for 3rd, 6:15 PM for 4th, and 7:30 PM for 5th). We are planning for students to be involved in groups, so we need to know who will be available for this fun opportunity. Parents are responsible for transportation to and from Peake and students must be accompanied by an adult during the showcase. The Specialists Team will be organizing and directing the showcase. A form will be coming home in your child's folder. Please sign and return the form with your child to their homeroom teacher by Friday, April 19th so that we can include every child who wants to take part. THANK YOU for your support!

Counselor's Corner
Happy testing week. We appreciate you getting your students to school on time after a good night’s sleep! Thank you so much.
Our students are preparing an amazing showcase. It will take place the evening of May 16. You should be getting a flier about it in the Tuesday folder today. We are hoping to have the majority of our students participate to show off their art, dance skills, singing, programming skills – quite a variety of learning skills will be on display. Please check out the information on the form. Each grade level will have its own time slot. Students need to be accompanied by an adult.
Thank you for your support!
