PLAY GROUND NEWS: Attention 3rd–8th Grade Students Playing Soccer at Recess: We need to talk about the way soccer has been played this week. There have been many reports of students playing too rough on the soccer field. Soccer is meant to be a fun game, but it only works if everyone shows self-control and respect for others while playing. If the rough play continues, we may have to suspend soccer as an option at recess. That’s not something we want to do, but safety and respect come first. Please remember: good sportsmanship, fair play, and respect for others are what keep the game going. Let’s work together to keep soccer safe and fun for everyone.

HOUSE NEWS:  Isibindi is in the lead right now with 6,902 points! Altruismo is close behind with 6,711 points, followed be Sollevare with 6,697 points. Next Friday we will have our assembly to sort our third graders into their houses and we are SO excited!
