Dear Canterbury Woods Families,
This week was certainly one to remember! Thank you to everyone for your flexibility as we prioritized safety this past Monday. By Tuesday, things took a more mischievous turn as our primary classrooms were visited by a leprechaun who left quite a mess behind! Despite their best efforts, our students were unable to catch him, but they had a great time trying.
On Wednesday, we celebrated our delayed Pi Day. Our 4th, 5th, and 6th graders brought the fun by showcasing their incredible memorization skills! Students who memorized the most digits of Pi earned the chance to "pie" their teachers and our top memorizers from each grade got to pie Mrs. Malkowski, Ms. Milliron, and Mrs. McGeehan. Thank you to our dedicated students and staff for making learning so much fun!
Today marked the 121st day of school, and our 1st graders made the most of it with math activities and their highly anticipated fashion show!
Have a wonderful weekend,
Leslie Malkowski, Kristi McGeehan, and Mindy Milliron
