A Message from the Principal

Happy June! I cannot believe that we are in our last month of the school year! The students are very excited to participate in the ABC Countdown. Thank you to Mrs. Bennett and Miss Kiernan for organizing this fun end of the year activity.

Have you ever thought about music as a part of nature? I have been observing the students in Mrs. Bogden's music classes, where they are exploring the Essential Questions: How can you hear music in nature? and How can you hear nature in music? Ask your child about their lessons in music class. I enjoy hearing the conversations amongst the students regarding the musical pieces Mrs. Bogden shares with them.

Have you ever heard of a BOOM WHACKER? If you have a child in Pre-K, ask them about this fun object! They are having so much fun using them in Music class.

Coach K. has arranged for many wonderful and wet activities this week for Field Day. Each class will have the opportunity to complete all field day activities. Students will be able to see how their Shelter Island friends are doing completing the same activities. A little different for this school year, but hopefully we will be back to our regular Field Day fun next year!

Our hallways are decorated with wonderful artwork completed by the students with Mrs. Sanders. All artwork will be sent home at the end of the school year. Thank you Mrs. Sanders for making our school look so beautiful and cheery.

Congratulations to the following students who performed virtual NYSSMA solos this school year:

Noelle Stevenson Violin Level 3 received a score of Excellent.

Kate Gromul Violin Level 2 received a score of Outstanding

Anna Maria Braslow Violin Level 2 received a score of Excellent

Alexandra Cabral Violin Level 2 received a score of Excellent

Thank you to Mrs. Bogden for preparing them so well! Have a wonderful rest of your week! Stay cool!

Fondly,

Mrs. Wissemann
