Principal's Comments

Dear Calvert Families,

Welcome to February!  During the last week in January, we passed the halfway point of the year.  It sure has flown right by!  The midway point of the school year is a great time to reflect on what has happened during the first two marking periods and to look forward to the rest of the year. 

Here are some highlights from the first half of the year.

• The first day of school for our kindergarten students and the beginning of the last year at Calvert for our fifth graders
• PTO Fall Festival
• Celebrating student achievement at awards assemblies
• Fun days like Blue and Gold Days, Camouflage Day, and Jersey Day
• PBIS drawings every Friday at lunch
• Drawings at the end of the marking period for students who earned BUCKs
• Red Ribbon week
• Marshmallow feet contests
• Grandparents’ Day
• Moving into the new gym, music, and band rooms
• Family Reading Night
  

We are also looking forward to many special times to come before the end of the year.

• 13 of our classes moving into the new classrooms
• Fun days like Decade Day, MSA Meltdown Day, Baseball Day and more Blue and Gold Days
• Jump Rope for Heart
• PTO Sock Hop and Bingo
• Morning with Moms and Donuts for Dads
• Spring holiday
• MSA testing in March
• The spring concert with the band, strings, and chorus
• The bittersweet day of the Fifth Grade Completion Ceremony
• The last day of school

As you can tell, we’ve already had a great time this year, but there is much more still to come.  We will be working hard over the next several weeks to prepare for MSA testing.  We are looking forward to doing very well and keeping up our proud tradition of Calvert’s high achievement.  More information about MSA testing will be forthcoming.  So, here’s to a fantastic February and thanks for all your support of Calvert Elementary.
