Evergreen Elementary

With Captain Evergreen making a surprise appearance and many parents and family members joining in the excitement, we wrapped up another wonderful school year and said goodbye for a couple of months—until next fall. Under the direction of our music teachers, students and teachers donned crazy hats, danced, sang along to lively music, and celebrated with one of our favorite traditions: the annual bus parade. The enthusiasm and joy of the last day of school made for a memorable sendoff to a terrific year.

As a culminating project, all of our 4th graders participated in a world studies activity.

For various reasons, kids picked a country to study. Then they wrote a report, created some sort of presentation, and then shared before parents, peers, and Evergreen administrators. 

What fun!

One student named Vincent studied St. Vincent. Another had traveled to Japan, so he reported on his family’s travels. Another has relatives in Norway, so she created a presentation about Norway. Another’s dad had family in Mexico, so he studied Mexico.

How cool is all of this?!

Take a peek at what we got after our Saturday garden cleanup. With several families showing up, Mrs. Phillips leading the way, and Mr. Danford weeding alongside everybody else, we left the garden looking so pretty.
