Elementary Math Tip: Woodburnpress.com said it perfectly when they said, "Children are learning new math skills every day, and they may sometimes get frustrated. If your child is feeling discouraged or frustrated, provide encouragement and keep a positive attitude. Remind your child that being good at math isn't something you're born with - math is something you learn."
2 weeks ago, one of our own lost someone very close to them.

To show our support to Mrs. Ploium and her family, the staff at the elementary and high school raised $500 to be given to the Williston Coyote Foundation for a scholarship the family set up in Boston's name.
