Congratulations to the 2022 Journey 5th grade class. As they walk the hallways for the last time today it gives me great joy knowing that each of them has received a #goodnewscalloftheday during their Journey experience (according to my records). Iโm proud of the Journey staff for searching and finding the best in our learners daily.


A reminder there will be a 2-hour Early Release tomorrow, May 19th, for the Last Day of School. Have a safe summer, Tigers! ๐พ๐


Earlier this year, Mrs. Fischerโs 1st grade class participated in a coloring contest for the Sanford Poison Center. The theme was โStop! Ask First!โ and our very own Meera was one of the winners! She received a gift card and special recognition on the SDPoison.org website. For information on talking to children about poisons, check out this video: https://bit.ly/3sFzr7o .

While free meals for all students were a welcome relief during the pandemic, these benefits will end at the of this school year. When the pandemic hit, the federal government funded a program that allowed all studentsโeven those who were not previously eligibleโto receive free meals. However, recently they have declined to continue funding this program.
If your child qualifies for free or reduced meals, they can still receive them, but you must take action to make it happen! If you are concerned that you may not be able to afford school meal prices, we urge you to fill out an application for free or reduced meal benefits as soon as possible. You can find a copy of this application on our website or contact Chris Beach, Child Nutrition Director. The process is simple and can be done online, but Chris is happy to answer any questions you may have. The District is always available to support families, so think about what option is best for you, and let us know if there is any way we can assist.
