This is always an excing me of year as we look to close the 2014-15 school year and begin planning for the 2015-16 school year. We have had a wonderful year at Machias Elementary School. One of our goals going into the year was to provide our students with more opportunies to explore their talents/abilies beyond the typical school day. A few of these opportunies included: • • • • • • • Chess Club Student Leadership Team Kaleidoscope Academy (Violin Instrucon) 3rd Grade Reading Challenge Team Art Club Missoula Children’s Theater 6th Grade Band I’d like to thank all staff and parents who supported each of these opportunies for our students. This morning I had the opportunity to listen to a few of our Bobcats who are learning to play the violin. I was so impressed by their abilies. The growth they have made since the beginning of the school year is remarkable! Thank you for your connued support. It is sincerely appreciated.
