Happy Summer!

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone for a fantastic year. It has been a great school year, which is largely in part to the role that parents and caregivers play at home. I am very grateful to have had such a wonderful group of students, as well as their parents who support them at home this year.
Thank you very much for the thoughtful gift from Cabela's. I am looking forward to picking out some new camping and fishing gear for the summer.
Have a safe and happy summer, and don't hesitate to drop by to say hello if you are in the school next fall!
Mme Katherine Ollerhead

I also wanted to share the link to another blog I will be keeping over the summer of my summer reading. Most of the books have been recommended by this year's students: www.mmessummerreading2013.blogspot.com

Pike Lake

We had an awesome day at Pike Lake! We left school first thing to drive out on the bus. When we got there we mini-golfed in teams of 4. Three students won a free round of golf! We went for a nature hike. We saw lots of caterpillars, some tadpoles, and even a snake! We had a delicious hot dog, watermelon and rice krispie square lunch, then we played on the playground before we went pond dipping. We caught a predaceous water beetle, some leeches, some minnows, a bunch of snails, and some freshwater shrimp.
Thank you to all the parents who came along and sent rice krispie treats!

Merci Alexa et Jody!
