Principal's Message

Lake Pleasant Families,

This week was short but busy as we make our way through the 4th week of school! This week I was able to spend a little time with our kindergarten teachers and we have six of the best. That is not an easy job and all of them had engaged happy students working hard on various skills. I am always impressed how they can run the class so efficiently with such young humans! The students are also so excited to see me and help me feel like a rock star so I kind of like hanging out down there! :)

I wanted to thank our staff and students in grade 5-8 for a great Patriots Day ceremony. I added a few pictures from the assembly below. I am sure today we are all taking a moment to think of where we were and how we found out about the attacks on 9/11. The assembly did a great job helping our students get a glimpse of what that day felt like for Americans and how it changed the course of our history. Mr. Beltram had a long day of discussing the history of the American Flag with the students and even I learned something new Friday!

Thank you for the continued support for our teachers and staff. It is very much appreciated!

Have a great week Silverhawks,

Aaron Bagwell

Proud Principal

4TH GRADE LEARNING ABOUT THE WATER CYCLE

After a week of learning about the water cycle, we made them put it into their own words. We grouped the kids up and they had a couple days to create a short skit of the water cycle. Every group was given the same amount of construction paper and that was all they could use for their props. It was fun to see their teamwork and support the other groups!

3rd Graders creating paper plate towers during Friday STEM time

Engineering mindset look out! Our students had to think critically and creatively to complete this challenge. We had some great ideas and projects throughout!
