Weekly Top...: Weekly Top for 3-3-23

Folks,

Please help out today! -

We have a lot of staff out today! (11 Teachers, 1 secretarial, 1 para, etc.) We need all hands on deck today! Please help out a colleague by checking in next door if a sub is in a room next to your room.

Congratulations Beth and our choirs -

It is so exciting that all three choirs received division 1 ratings! I was equally impressed with hearing from staff at The Chapel that the behavior of our choirs was some of the best they saw all day! Congratulations on all your hard work and effort!

Good Luck Today Science "O" -

Good luck to Kelly K. and Dr. St. Amand and the entire Science Olympiad team as they compete in the Science Olympiad regionals today! The dynasty (I believe) has gone on for 14 straight years! I am putting no pressure on the team, but I can't see why we can't make it 15 straight years!

Spelling Bee Tuesday -

This past Tuesday we had an all SJPS final as a Brown, EP Clarke, and Upton student all made the final round. Swarnali Basu did a phenomenal job, but lost to a Brown School 5th grader (who will join our team next year) and took 2nd place. Coach Cathy Gressley put in a ton of time with the team and we appreciate her encouragement and support!

School Improvement Meeting -

This Monday, March 6th Kristen Bawks, Kara Nicholson, and Melissa Foster will present some technology items with the staff. We will also have a UPTO update, and I will also be sharing a few more items related to BEAR time, scheduling, and testing.

Sign the Sheet -

Please come down to the office and sign the signature sheet near Grace's desk if you have not this week. Thanks!

Interact Club Donation -

We want to commend our Interact Club on their check presentation to the Child Advocacy Center this week! They raised $228.50 from a bake sale. Thanks to our kids for this generous gift to a worthy recipient!
