Wow! It’s hard to believe that two weeks have gone by since our last post to the Pride! Let me tell you, we have a lot to report!
Of course we are finished with all MAP testing for this year! The kids did an AWESOME job during the tests! We are proud of the fact that we are the only school in Missouri that still has the MMAT! Actually it stands for Map Motivation and Teamwork! Our team did a great job of encouraging all that were participating in the tests!
Then we had Secretary’s Day! We appreciate Mary Crighton and Nikki Stokes so much! They are truly the heart of our school.
Wednesday, April 25th, Willard North was proud to sponsor our 3rd Annual Locks of Love Event! This year, 34 people cut their hair for the cause! It was a wonderful event. Thanks to our local hairstylists Angela, Jennifer, Lori, Toni and Terri for coming and cutting ponytails and giving free haircuts! Thanks to Carolyn, Stephanie and Robin for also helping cut ponytails! Thanks also goes to Carah Patterson ,Stephanie Yates, Angela Stevens and Laura Hurd for the makeovers! Lifetouch photography took pictures of the girls which are just awesome! Thanks to all for making this a community event!
Friday, April 27th our 3/4th grade Honor Choir sang the National Anthem at the Springfield Cardinals Game. They also held a wonderful concert on May 1oth at Willard North.
Kindergarten Screening was held April 30th and May 1st. We are so excited about next years class!
On May 1st, our kindergarten class held their spring concert on the big stage at Willard High School! They did an amazing job! The facilities were awesome! Thanks to Mr. Tuck, Mrs. Chappell, and Willard High School for letting us use it! Also thanks to John K and Matt M for the lights and sound!
On May 5th we held our annual Track and Field Day! The events went great! The threat of weather stayed away and we enjoyed a fantastic day. Thanks to Coach Bills for putting on a terrific activity!
This afternoon, First Grade will host their Mother’s Day Tea. The students are very excited to show their Mother’s their talent and the gifts they have made. Bring on the kleenex! It’s bound to choke you up!
Happy Mother’s Day to all our Mom’s! You do so much for us! Enjoy your special day with your family!
Rhonda Bishop, Willard North Principal
