I N O UR Spruce Run School S SCHOOLS: We miss our SRS students, and are looking forward to seeing everyone back at our school in the fall! We have been busy "sprucing up" Spruce Run School for the new school year! The custodial staff has been painting and cleaning our school, and our office staff are purchasing supplies and working on our class lists. Please be sure to look for the letter from Mrs. Goad in August to find out who your child's new Preschool, Kindergarten or First Grade teacher will be! Enjoy the rest of the summer, be sure to read lots of books and don't forget the sunscreen! P at r i c k M c g a h e r a n S c h o o l We are very busy working to prepare for a wonderful new school year! Schedules, class lists and learning activities are being developed. Classrooms are being cleaned and the hallways will be sparkling when students arrive on their first day of the new school year! The School -Wide Theme for 2013-2014 continues to be "PMGWhere Friendships Grow!" During the school year students will participate in activities based on this theme. Assemblies, all-school morning meetings and Words of the Month will also help us celebrate friendship. As we watch our friendships grow, we will also be helping to "grow" other things, including our butterflies, trout, ducklings and a variety of plants. We look forward to welcoming outstanding new staff members to the PMG family of educators and look forward to meeting our incoming second grade students. It is sure to be a fun year of learning and growing together! Round Valley School Happy summer to all! We are busy here at Round Valley getting ready for the new school year. Floors are being shined and classrooms are being spruced up. We have new staff members joining Team Round Valley including a 6th grade math/science teacher, special educators, a part time math support teacher and a part time secretary. Team Round Valley will continue to 'Care for Self, Care for Others, and Care for the Environment' in the upcoming year. Our community garden is flourishing! We are always looking for volunteers to help with the upkeep and harvesting. Enjoy your vacation and we look forward to seeing you this September! Clinton Township Middle School It's so nice to have so much activity going on at our Middle School this summer. Students are having fun participating in the extended school program and Clinton Township recreation activities. We will be welcoming a new art teacher, a consumer science teacher, special educators and a part-time secretary to the Clinton Township Middle School this year. Teachers are meeting throughout the summer with Ms. Hammond to discuss the upcoming school year. Enjoy your summer vacation – we look forward to seeing you in the fall!
