Friday’s STRETCH class helped us with a special send off for Mrs. Dees to wish her well in retirement! The tree on the canvas was made from everyone’s fingerprints, Monday through Friday! Thank you for helping us grow, Mrs. Dees!
Best wishes in retirement! We love you!

Best wishes to this unforgettable bunch of creative, goofy, high-energy 5th graders as they start their middle school adventures! We look forward to seeing all that our Thursday 5th graders accomplish in the the next phase of their journeys.

Here are a couple of shots from our rotations this week. Ask your kiddos how they did in Bingo, whether they taught or learned chess, what they built out of junk, and what games they played!

We will miss this small but mighty group of Monday 5th graders! We wish them a successful, fun, and adventure-filled middle school experience and thank them for being part of our STRETCH family! (***Ssshhhh! The banners are a secret from our Tuesday through Thursday 5th graders still!)

We will miss our Hagemann 5th graders next week for our last STRETCH day, so we gifted our Friday 5th graders their banners today. We wish them the best as they go on to middle school next year and appreciate them for sharing their creativity, enthusiasm, and good humor over their time in the STRETCH program! (***The banners are a surprise for our 5th graders, so keep it hush hush if you have a 5th grader from another STRETCH day around!)

What fun it was to see our STRETCH students and their families at Beasley Elementary last night for our Spring Showcase! We know it’s a busy time of year, and we appreciate all who carved out the time to get there and totally understand if you couldn’t make it happen. Here’s a batch of photos from the event—more to come!
