Greetings Families!
We had a fun and exciting week! It was great seeing students showing spirit during Attendance Awareness Spirit Week . Thank for allowing them to participate. Thursday was our first field study to Ed Venture. Students had a fantastic time learning about forces in motion and exploring the museum. Today, students participated in their first STEAM activity "Tower Power". This activity was engaging, competitive and FUN! I have posted pictures on Classtag and Twitter for you to view.

Tomorrow will be Family Killian Family Fun Day @ 10:00am- 1:00pm. Please see the light blue flyer that was sent home in your child's blue folder for a list of exciting events that will take place. I hope to see each of you.
