Pennoyer Families,
What a great first week of May we had at Pennoyer! The excitement is certainly building and so many fun things have been going on. I want to start by highlighting our very own Nurse Alana. It was National Nurse's Day this past week, and she is absolutely amazing. Her hard work and dedication shines through every day for our students and staff. Nurse Alana also completed a program at the University of Illinois Chicago and is now an official certified school nurse...way to go!
You know summer is in the air because it's butterfly season around Pennoyer, and many of our classrooms got to see their caterpillars transform into beautiful butterflies this week right before their very eyes...so cool!
We also had a great first round of our Math Bee this week, and the competition is definitely heating up for next week! We have so many students that really shine in areas of math, and this has been a great way to showcase their skills and have some fun too.
We Celebrate at Pennoyer!
This week we're celebrating Principal Liz, who certainly gave me a run for my money. Liz was the leading student in raising money for our Walk A Thon this year, so she was awarded being Principal for a Day and she didn't disappoint! Liz made sure she had the energy to do the job with a great pizza lunch, and then she was ready to go. Principal Liz watched some educational videos...Baby Shark might have been a part of those videos, sent off a social media post, and learned her way around the office. When it was time, Principal Liz got out into the classrooms with me and explored what students and staff were doing. She made her way into everything from our preschool classroom to middle school. She even found some time to hang out in the Principal's office with a few older students. Principal Liz capped it all off with an announcement over the loud speaker to the entire school to end the day. She was absolutely amazing, and I seriously had the best time hanging out with her and watching her enjoy the experience. #Pennoyerpride for Principal Liz!
