Clemson field Trip

















What a great time we had on Saturday with the fourth and fifth graders. They were so excited about seeing the stadium and believe it or not- riding the cat bus! We had great weather and the kids were so well behaved. It was a perfect trip, except for the mountain of stairs at the stadium. I am really getting old! Many thanks to the wonderful chaperones we had on the trip. They were so helpful, and we could not have done it without them. Please enjoy the pictures from the trip.

Grits for Grands





Thanks to everyone for being patient and flexible during our
Grandparent's breakfast. What a wonderful turnout we had for this event. I appreciate the cafeteria staff and the teachers who arrived early to help during this time. It was so helpful to have you to guide our grands and get everyone served. What a great team we have at Orchard Park. If this is any indication, the Tuesday folders are working!! Thanks again for making all of our visitors feel welcome at our school.

Olympic Readers












I thought you might like to see some of the pictures from our Olympic Reading Celebration. The Olympic Rings picture turned out really well, and the students appeared to have a great time reading and eating ice cream. Thank you for your flexibilty on Friday and for making the day fun for the students. It is important to maintain our reading focus, and promote daily reading at home and at school.
