March Teacher of the Month

🍀 Lucky to Have You and Welcome to March, Ogre-achievers! 🌈

The seasons are changing, the flowers are blooming, and the swamp is finally turning that perfect shade of ogre-green! A brand new month is here, and we are "Over the Moon" (and maybe a few windmills) to be on this journey with you. While we say goodbye to the winter chill, our momentum is heating up like a dragon’s breath!

This month, we aren't just looking for pots of gold; we’re celebrating the incredible layers of talent and hard work our students bring to the swamp every single day.

📝 Showing Our Layers: The Final Stretch
March is a massive month for our Roadrunners to prove they are All-Stars 🌟! We are moving full steam ahead into our most important season of the year:
🍀 Finishing Strong: Our students are polishing their skills and proving that they have the "luck" that only comes from hard work and preparation.
🍀 AASA and AzSci Testing: It’s time to map out our progress and show exactly how much our third through fifth graders have learned. The finish line is in sight!

Don't let the "Keep Out" signs fool you—our students are ready to storm the castle! We know they’ve put in the work, and we are confident they’re going to slay the dragon of testing this month 🐲!

🗺️ The Essential Map (To avoid the Dragon's Keep)
We’ve got all the details you need so you don't end up lost in the Whispering Woods:
💚 Calendar: Stay on track so you know exactly when the magic happens!
💛 Lunch Menu: Fuel up for greatness—no onions required (unless you like layers).
💙 Newsletter: A true fairy tale of information for the month ahead: https://app.smore.com/n/wpxdh-march-news

Whether you’re a Shrek, a Fiona, or even a fast-talking Donkey, we want you to know how much we appreciate your support. Our school is a swamp of talent, and we couldn't be prouder of the progress our ogres are making.

Go Roadrunners! 💚🏰

Hear ye, hear ye! By royal decree of the Swamp, it’s time to celebrate the hardworking ogres (and humans) who showed up and conquered the AZELLA quests! Since these students had perfect attendance and didn’t wander off into Far Far Away during testing, they’ve earned the right to shed their "knightly armor" (uniforms) for a few days. 🏰 The Royal Proclamation The following classes have earned a No Uniform Pass for this Thursday and Friday! 📜 The Honored Swamp-Dwellers: 💚Muñoz 🤍Bonillas 🤎A. Lopez 💚Montañez 🤍Sandoval Important Note: This reward is strictly for the students who completed AZELLA testing. If you weren't in the "trenches" of the test, you must remain in your standard village attire! Congratulations on staying focused and not letting the dragons (or the exams) get the best of you. Now, let’s celebrate!
