Short Avenue Elementary School

Our 4th graders had a blast hosting family members for our 3rd Annual 4th Grade Wax Museum yesterday. Our IB Learners researched a notable figure from US History that they identified from our options of school library books, wrote a book report, and then made their subjects come to life for our live Wax Museum event. This year individuals such as Galileo, Ruth Asawa, and Ernest Shackleton made an appearance!

Our Edible Garden is blooming with delicious treats!!

Please scroll through to see our 2 sweet students who won “Plant Manager of the Day” at our Spring Auction!!! Each boy got a special Plant Manager badge, and carried a walkie talkie. They worked with Raul and Josue to raise the flag in the morning, open up classrooms, refill the paper towel holders, blow and sweep up trash and leaves, and they got to eat lunch with Raul!
The boys were very happy to work around the school in the morning and at recess!

Night one of W***y Wonka was wonderful!! Night two of cast A is tonight at 5:30pm and Cast B is next Wednesday and Thursday! Please come and support our Musical Theatre Club!

Rm 26’s amazing Teacher for the Day—Ms. Rose! It was a fun-filled hedgehog themed day. She planned a great math problem for the class to solve, led a creative and kinesthetic clay craft activity, and ran her students tired in a relay game of balancing hedgehog fun! Topping it off, students munched on a special sprinkle donut treat for snack! Rose, you made Rm 26’s day!

A huge congratulations to our 5th grade students, who participated in our annual Exhibition event on Thursday evening! This milestone in the IB Primary Years Programme allowed our students to showcase their learning and the actions they are taking to improve the world around them. From environmental advocacy to promoting kindness and equity, their projects were inspiring examples of what young learners can achieve when they think globally and act locally. We are so proud of them!

Enjoy these photos from our Dunk Tank Celebration for raising more $$ than our goal for Dolphin Derby! Congratulations Short Ave! And big thanks to Mr. Lamb for being the best principal ever!

So excited to see everyone tomorrow morning at Dolphin Cafe and the School Assembly! Dolphin Cafe kicks off at 7:30am and will be in the AUDITORIUM tomorrow instead of Front Lawn. And remember, Mr. Lamb is going in the DUNK TANK at the assembly to celebrate hitting our Dolphin Derby goal! Can’t wait to see you all there.

Today’s Spirit Day theme was to bring your stuff to school in “anything but a backpack!” We love the creativity!! Tomorrow’s theme is “dress like your dream job”!

We had our 2nd annual Multilingual Awards last Wednesday Night where 62 students were awarded certificates! This was a wonderful evening to celebrate our students who speak multiple languages and are on the path to becoming biliterate. We hope to recognize even more students next year! Congratulations!
