Leading up to Field day, Washington Elementary students had the opportunity to buy tickets for a chance to pie the principal. A student from each grade was chosen at random to do the honors. Thank you for being a good sport, Mr. France!!
We never shared photos from our Field Day before the last days of school. But clearly our elementary had a good day! We hope everyone is having a great summer!
NOTE: Meeting dates have been moved from June 22 to June 29.

Congratulations to Ms. Kaley!
Kaley Lewis, a former graduate of Bessemer, spent her 2nd semester shadowing and teaching lessons in Mrs. Greenough's 1st grade classroom. This was part of her course work in the Teacher Education Program at Gogebic Community College, and this past weekend she graduated! She plans to attend Northern Michigan University in the Fall to obtain her Bachelor's degree in Education. The students really enjoyed working with and learning from Ms. Kaley. She is already so missed in the classroom, but we all wish her the best of luck in her educational endeavors!
