Principal's Comments

Dear Calvert Families,

Greetings! I hope the early days of summer are going well for everyone and that you students are having a great time being off from school. Each of you worked very hard this year and you sure do deserve some time to relax and have fun. Summer is a great time to get outside and play, go swimming, and learn a new sport (I saw a few of our Calvert students at golf camp this week). It's also a great time to read books. I'm already halfway through one I started a week ago. Reading in the summer keeps your mind active and helps you with your fluency and comprehension skills.

Construction is continuing and really took off as soon as the students left. The front loop has been torn up and work is being done on the new loop and parking lot. The temporary wall in the gym is down and work is going on to build the new music and band rooms. Work is continuing on the new classroom wing and the new gym, as well. See the pictures for a peek at what is going on.

Enjoy your summer!

Mr. Tony Petinga, Principal
