What a fun week! In addition to all of our students meeting next year’s teachers during Moving Up Day, we held our annual Field Day activities and enjoyed our final 6th-8th grade rally. We appreciate our incredible ASB students for helping to facilitate all of these events. Good times!
BIG CONGRATULATIONS to 7th grade student Kade Perkins, our Kiwanis Good Student Award recipient for Newcastle Elementary School. Kade leads the way with strong academics, a positive attitude, and a genuine commitment to serving both our school and the larger community.
As the year comes to a close, we want to thank all of our families for your unwavering support. It truly takes a village, and we are so grateful for ours.
Now it is time to celebrate. Join us as we wrap up the year with joy, laughter, and a whole lot of school spirit. Let’s give a big, hands in the air WAHOO for all that our students have accomplished this year.
And to our graduating class, this is your moment. We are so proud of you and all that you have become. We wish you the very best as you head off to high school.
