Hello Hopper Families!
Many thanks to all who attended our last PTO meeting. Voting went very well and we have new faces on the PTO board for the next school year. Welcome aboard Amy DelCastillo and Kelly Zigler!! Our May PTO meeting will be the last meeting of this school year. We will serve food as we wrap up the year and get ready for summer. Hope to see you there!
PSSAs are under way. We finished ELA PSSA test last week and will have the Math PSSA tests this week for 3rd and 4th graders. Our kiddos are doing great! They are working hard and taking their time. This is what we like to see. Thank you volunteers for the healthy snacks for the testing days.
We want to give a shout out to these wonderful 4th graders who did an excellent job at Math 24 at the end of March. Cami Schwartz, Nikki Nguyen, Gregory Kensey, and Tyler Shirk. Although they are not moving onto the IU competition, they still did a GREAT job. The students who competed were all really good! Congrats to these 4th graders! :)
PSSA: Thank you to the whole school for participating in the PSSA Color Days. It's fun to see everyone dressed in one color in support to our 3rd and 4th graders. This week we have the following color days:
Tuesday, April 17 - Victory! Wear a GREEN shirt to school.
Wednesday, April 18 - Fresh Start! Wear WHITE shirt to school.
