We’d like to thank all of the teachers and TAs who lead/co-lead Vision Day projects for the 3rd-5th graders. The campus was buzzing with extra excited and engaged students this week. It was so great to see the 5 Realms (arts, athletics, academics, play/choice, and community) in action. Thank you to everyone involved in the planning and leading of the student projects.

Earth Week Book Swap
Thanks to all those that made our first ever book swap a huge success - everyone who donated books, teachers that brought their classes (some more than once!), support staff who helped us every step of the way, parents who came in on Friday and took home so many titles, and everyone who attended. We are thrilled to share that we were able to raise 29,960 rupees in support of the India Literacy Project AND find thousands of books new homes! The books that were left at the end were either packed up for next year's swap or given to our friends at Wasted for recycling or upcycling.
See you at next year’s book swap.

From the Counselors
Thank you for all you have done this year. You are the heart of this school. You all have been amazing this year in your efforts to get us all back on track in school. We have noticed so many amazing things about everyone this year…. Your endless energy, love for being with students, dedication to make everyone feel like they belong, thoughtfulness in checking in with others, willingness to lend a hand to make events work well, and so much more.
Here is a short activity that offers a boost of positivity for your class as we head toward the end of the school year..
First tell your students how amazing they have been this year with some detail. Tell them you know they will end this year at their very best. Then ask this question:
When I (teacher) walk into our classroom this week, what might I notice about each of you that would tell me you were being at your very, very best? Ask for details (small details are very important)about them that you will notice.) Ask what else to get a big list.
You can choose a student to make a list that you can then put up in the classroom.
Then, brainstorm how you will celebrate everyone being at their very best the last week of school.
Enjoy the weekend.
Lynn and Dave
