Week 2 of summer camp blew by 💨

This week we learned all about meteorology, with special guest KCRA's Dirk Verdoorn visiting us on Monday to teach us about the weather with some fun hands-on activities. Our older students had a field trip to go bowling🎳, while our younger students had a blast on our water play day. We can't wait to see you all next week to learn about Zoology! 🐻

Don't forget next Tuesday, May 12th is our last Family Dinner night of the year. Join us at Steve's Pizza for yummy pizza with friends!

We are only 15 days away from the last day of school, which is so hard to believe. But it also means there's a LOT happening over the next few weeks! Here's the scoop for the month of May.

P.S. Campus will be closed on May 22nd with Summer Camp (for pre-registered campers) officially beginning on Tuesday, May 26th!

Families, join us tomorrow at 8:30am for our monthly assembly! We will be celebrating those students who have shown exceptional growth in Habit #7 - Sharpen the Saw.

One of the many things that makes our curriculum unique is that we offer multiple enrichment classes throughout the week. Mr. Smith's Technology class teaches students computer basics, like creating a file folder structure, all the way to coding. Technology use is not meant to substitute traditional learning, which is why students aren't on screens all day. It's a tool that enhances students' learning and abilities. They love using programs like TinkerCAD to design and engineer 3D printed items and the 3D printer pen for our younger students helps build fine motor skills as well as creativity.

Friday is the LAST DAY to secure a spot in summer camp! If you're looking for a K-8 camp where your child will have loads of fun learning, creating, and exploring and where the summer slide doesn't happen (except for water slides, we do have those!), register your child today. This year's theme is the Summer of Knowledge, where we'll be exploring a different "-ology" each week, from geology and archeology to microbiology and zoology!

Download the registration form here and return it to the front office by Friday, May 1st. 👉https://www.folsomprep.com/page/summercamp

Raise your hand if you can hardly believe we're just a month away from the end of the school year! If you haven't yet enrolled for next year, we have limited spots available in grades TK-6 so be sure to register your child. It also means summer camp is right around the corner, so get your registration form turned in as soon as possible! The last day to add/drop summer camp weeks is May 1st.

Don't forget our Student Showcase is tomorrow evening from 5:30-6:30pm! Hear from our poetry contest winners, view amazing artwork created by students, learn about historic figures at our Living Wax Museum and so much more. Students have been hard at work creating masterpieces of all kinds and we can't wait to share them with you!

Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
Our students wrote amazing poems,
and you should vote for them too!

Did you see Mrs. Murawski's email yesterday about our first ever student Poetry Contest? Vote for your favorite poems from each class and the winners will get to read them aloud during Thursday night's Student Showcase! You'll find the link to vote in Monday's email.
