Dear Discovery Staff, Students, and Families~

WOW! It’s practically the middle of March already! It was hard to believe that we SPRUNG AHEAD this past weekend.

Just a reminder for a few fun items as we head into spring…

Golden Acorn Winners: At last night’s PTSA meeting we honored a few outstanding volunteers with Golden Acorn Awards. Congratulations to Caarin Hilliker, Kari Ann Tuohy, Susan Peters and Jennifer Rankin. Thank you all for your dedicated work that you do to support the learning at Discovery!

Outstanding Advocate Winner: Also at last night’s PTSA meeting we honored Allison Lehr as the recipient of the Outstanding Advocate Award. Thank you Allison for going above and beyond for ALL students at Discovery.

Outstanding Educator Winners: Two other awards were handed out at last night’s PTSA meeting to honor two of our AMAZING teachers at Discovery. Congratulations to Carol Jacobs and Jessica Burnham (both 3rd grade teachers) for being recognized as our Outstanding Educators for the 2012/2013 school year.

Report Cards: Report cards will be arriving home with your student(s) on Friday, March 15th. Teachers are working hard with your student(s) to continue their progress toward meeting or exceeding their grade level goals.

Discovery’s Choir Concert: Come listen to the Discovery Choir on Tuesday, March 19th. The concert will start in the MPR at 6:30 pm. I have to admit, I have peeked in on a few practices and they are AMAZING performers.

Science Fair: Our FUN Science Fair will be next Wednesday, March 20th. I look forward to seeing all of our scientists at work and learning from their investigations!

Spring Break: Last, but definitely NOT LEAST…pring break is just around the corner; April 8th – 12th. Please enjoy a safe and relaxing week off from school!

As I mentioned above, we had a few volunteers and teachers that were recognized for their hard work at Discovery. As we all know there are many, MANY more that could be named for their OUTSTANDING work they do around our school. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank ALL of our teachers and volunteers for all their hard work they do to help support the learning that happens at Discovery each moment of the school day!

THANK YOU!
Tera Coyle
Principal of Discovery Elementary
