This performance features the 3/4 multi-age program and concludes all of the grade level performances for the 2004-2005 school year. Phyllis Mentzos conducts the performances and is working hard to provide strong musical experiences with our students. Students are continuing to strive for our goal of 1.5 million minutes of at home reading this year. So far we have collected three months of data and our students have accumulated a total of 530,784 minutes.

Visually Impaired Student- Kathy Dalbeck and Lisa Thebo report that our kindergarten student is learning Braille very well! Life Skills Classes- students are excelling in their cooking skills. Projects send delightful aromas throughout the school and are delicious. They include integrating curricular skills: measurement, reading and writing. Surveys- from staff, parents and students have been completed on Scantron cards and will be tallied by ESD 189. Results will be used and analyzed at our spring Data Carousel for our School Improvement Planning Technical Assistance Project (SIP/TAP).
