Mrs. Antall and the fifth grade chorus transformed the DIS music room and gym into a theatre and performed “The Pirate Show” for fellow students during the day and families at night. Mrs. Antall and her students were very entertaining and sounded great! Many thanks to everyone who helped out with the show.

The Wycallis Primary Center were recently treated to a Barnyard Bash in recognition for all of their hard work with fundraising this year. Students were able to get up close and personal with some very cute barnyard animals. Thank you to the PTO and all of our parents for their support this school year.

Our young environmentalists have been hard at work! As part of Kindergarten's “Taking Care of the Earth” knowledge unit, students painted their own reusable bags and created amazing Recycled Art projects using materials that might have otherwise been thrown away. From creative crafts to thoughtful designs, their work shows how we can reduce, reuse, and recycle in fun and meaningful ways.
