May the 4th be with you! Students shared their love of all things science fiction today with a visit from R2D2 on National Star Wars Day. We had storm troopers, princesses, and story fans participating in events all day. Thank you Scott for bringing your creation to our school!

Congratulations to our Manatee Track Team who competed Saturday at the All City Track Meet. Coach Rick expressed great pride in the team as they earned recognition in many events. The team consisted of: Madden, Lucas, Colin, Megan, Victoria, Elijah R, Hayley, Jenna, Micah, Lily, Elijah, and Evan. Everyone cheered on their classmates and showed great sportsmanship. These three athletes earned medals and ribbons for their efforts:

Madden: 1st 800 meters; 1st 1600 meters; 5th 400 meters

Elijah: 1st 50 yard dash; 3rd 200 meters; 3rd Softball throw

Hayley: 3rd 200 meters (and won her heat in the 100 meters)

Congratulations to our NEW Volunteer of the Year!  Mrs. Shannon Sweet was recognized for her contributions to our school at our annual Appreciation and Talent show this week.  Families were treated to a taco bar and homemade cupcakes.  The students entertained the crowd with their many talents. 

Thank you Lucky’s market in West Melbourne for hosting our “Family Math Night”. We learned about produce, apothecary, commerce, fresh food and meat and a lot more. The staff was so courteous and helpful. Students took a tour of the store, participated in a scavenger hunt, entered a coloring contest, enjoyed pizza for dinner and left with a bag of goodies.

Our students had a very success experience at the Science and Art show this week. Six of our grade 3-6 students won first place ribbons at the school level and then moved on to the district competition. Three of these students received ribbons for their science projects. At the same event, our first ever recycled art project was entered into the art competition. We are pleased that the 15 students in grads 1-6 who worked on this project also received an award for their efforts. Thank you to the parents, teachers, volunteers and staff who supported these young people to do their best!

Thursday night at Parent Participation night. They each became the “teacher” as they led their parent through their daily lessons. We saw lots of smiles and pride as they shared how hard they work in the classroom.
