Take a moment and say thank you.
We were lucky enough to have Andy come to our school last Thursday, May 25. Andy met with grades 1-11 and had special time with 8-12 grade leaders. Here is a little about Andy.
Andy Thibodeau was called “Mr. School Spirit” by the alumni magazine of King’s College at Western University when they named him alumni of the year in 2014. Since 1992, Andy has delivered thousands of fun inspirational presentations to schools and conferences across North America. Over two million people have experienced his IMPACT Presentations in all 10 Canadian provinces and 40 US states. Andy is a unique speaker who has presentations for all grades of elementary and secondary students, college & university programs, education professionals in all schools, leadership conferences, and the staff and participants of camp and recreation programs!

Just a quick trip to the ice cream shop!
What a wonderful positive and message Andy Thibodeau presented last week!
If you plan to attend CAMP Day on Friday, June 2, or the NAMA sponsored lunch on June 5 with your child, you MUST have an iChat form complete. It has to be from this year. Deadline to fill out an iChat form will be Wednesday, May 31.
Last day of school for TAS is Monday, June 5. It is a half day. Friday, June 2 is a FULL DAY! This is due to going over on weather days known as forgiveness days to the state.
This has been in the Sunday Send Off and on the radio and in the Newberry News.
Congratulations Class of 2023!!
Way to go, Seth! Great job finishing the 40 Book Challenge! 😎

Second graders have loved our new reading program Superkids, however, it's only a K-2 program. So, as quickly as they've met them, it's also time to say good-bye to them! And that's exactly what we've been doing the last few weeks.
We made maracas with our musical loving friends Tic, Tac, and Toc; paper puff mobiles with super fast Hot Rod, got to meet Mrs. Havens dog, Cooper, and pretended he was Golly the dog; had a marshmallow and toothpick challenge with our builder Doc; and spent the day on a camping "adventure" with Alf. 🎶 💨 🐾 🔨 ⛺️
Stay tuned for more adventures!
Senior Spotlight - Diego Caballero
Diego doesn't have definite plans for after high school, but he is going to miss the friends and memories that he made here. His favorite class was strength training, and his favorite memory is basketball homecoming. Diego is proud of the grades that he achieved and his favorite saying is: Luck is what happens when hard work meets opportunity."
To round off a solid year with our new SUPERKIDS reading program, we had a "Superkids Soirée".
We dressed up as our favorite characters, danced, played some Superkid's inspired games, and celebrated all of the awesome stuff we learned this year.
