We apologize for any inconvenience and loud noise over the next few days. Washington School is getting a new roof and the rock from the old roof needs to be removed. This involves the use of a large vacuum to remove the rocks which can be loud as I am told. This is scheduled to be Wednesday, Thursday and Friday (June 19, 20, 21) of when the vacuums will be used throughout the day. Again, we apologize for any inconvenience or loud noise from the project.

Ms. Pearson’s 5th grade and Mrs. Pescetto’s 1st grade classes worked together to build treehouses on Thursday and Friday. They listened to the story “Everything You Need for a Treehouse” first. Then they built one of their own using cardboard scraps, pipe cleaner, tape, glue, scissors, popsicle sticks, construction paper and imagination.
