Bittersweet


Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.  ~John Dewey

Welcome to the last blog of the 2012-13 school year.  The end of any school year is always bittersweet.  It is exciting to see students grow and change throughout the year, and we all know the growth signifies their readiness for the next level.  It is often hard for teachers to watch them leave their classrooms after spending so much quality team with them each day.  Thank you for entrusting your children to us each and every day.  We value the choice you have made to come to Eagle Ridge Academy and look forward to what the next school year will bring to us all.  Have a wonderful summer!

Just a reminder that dismissal on the last day of school for Lower School students is at 11:00 for car pick up students.  Buses will leave between 11:40 and 11:45 (after Upper School dismissal at 11:30).  If it is possible for your student to follow his/her normal mode of transportation on that day, I would encourage you to do so.  If your student will go home in a different manner or with someone different, please let your student’s homeroom teacher know.

The last music Informances are Tuesday, June 4th.  Our youngest students will perform.  Kindergarten starts at 6:00pm.  1st grade starts at 7:00pm.  If you are available to help with set up or take down, please contact Ms. Nimchuk.

Have a fabulous week!
Mrs. Baier
