Every time you cross the finish line, you earn a colorful lap bracelet to add to your collection! See how many you can stack on your arm by the end of the event—they are yours to keep as a trophy of your hard work.

The top boy runner and top girl runner in every grade who completes the most laps will win a STEM Discovery Kit. Winners get to hand-pick a science or building set to take home for a summer of exploration.

The boy and girl who raise the most money in the school will each get a $100 Amazon gift card.

Teamwork makes the dream work! The single classroom that raises the most money for our school will win the Ultimate Class Party. Will your class be the one to take home the glory?

Lace up those sneakers, Sumas runners! Let's make this the best year yet!

Last week, 5th graders had an introduction to Middle School life. As Middle Schooler’s they get to choose an elective subject of either Band, Music Appreciation, S.T.E.A.M or Art.

The links for the Middle School Elective requests are now available for you to complete with your student. 

These need to be submitted no later than May 18th. Elective scheduling is done by the Middle School, so students may not get their first or second choice. 

 

Also, the 5th graders will have an opportunity to tour the middle school on June 3rd. A permission form will be sent home in the near future.

 

If you need any assistance or have questions about the electives or the tour, you can contact your child’s teacher or Heather Taylor at Heather.Taylor@nv.k12.wa.us or 253.271.8585

Hi Families! I just wanted to do a quick reminder about our technology rules at school. We ask that all cell phones, smart watches, and any other device be turned off and put in backpacks during the school day. This is a district wide policy and there are so many reasons we adopted it. If your child is sick or needs to get a hold of you, we will call you from our office phones. When students forget to take their smart watches off or turn off cell phones we give them a reminder to put them away and if they are unable to follow that direction, I'm always happy to hold on to the devices until the end of the day and would ask that families come and pick them up from the office. 

Thanks for your support! It takes a village!
