We introduced small group learning in preschool this year. It is important to use small groups when teaching in early learning classrooms because it allows us to meet children where they are, introducing ideas and activities that are just the right level of challenge for each child.
The semester is coming to an end, here is a look at what is to come in the next two weeks.
The wrestling team competed at Superior on Friday (no individual placings given) and Harvard on Saturday.
On Saturday, wrestlers placed as follows in their respective weight divisions:
Holden - 1st
Matt - 6th
Rigley - 7th
Xavier - 8th
Johnny - 8th
Dean - 10th
Quincy - 14th

Basketball season is here & we want to remind all of our fans of our expectations at events...
1. Elementary students seated with parents (parent must be present @ the game)
2. MS/HS students seated in the student section (or with parents), and
3. Remain in the bleachers to cheer on our Dragons whenever you can - limit the trips in/out of the gym and please avoid running in the hallways!
4. And, of course, SPORTSMANSHIP & disposing of your trash!
The only change to our original expectations is that the 6th grade is now welcome in the student section as middle schoolers! New posters coming soon!
PARENTS: We ask for your help enforcing these expectations! GO DRAGONS!
