Our full day kindergarteners learned about the voyage of the Mayflower. They sailed around the school hearing the story read by their pilgrim teacher, they rescued pilgrims who fell overboard during a story and they spotted land in North America. Our kindergartners are glad they didn't have to sail on the real Mayflower!





Congratulations to Perry Ewell, our teacher of the year! Mr. Ewell has taught at our school since it opened 24 years ago. This year is his 37th year teaching. Mr Ewell cares deeply about his students and their success. He said, "Teaching is tough work. Watching our students succeed and develop makes every challenge worthwhile. I cannot take credit for my students' success. They make the choices. We teachers just give the opportunities and encouragement. I teach because I love to see children grow and achieve, and if I can do anything to foster that growth - hallelujah!"
