Another Great Week in Otterville!

As always, I am sharing some positive news about our students and teachers. This latest email is pleasure to receive from parents:

I am writing to let you know how pleased I am with my daughter’s placement in Mrs. Beug’s class.  I have been impressed all year with both the classroom environment and the academics established by Mrs. Beug. 

When Pauline has friends over I sometimes here them talking about a bully situation or other difficulties.  They always come around to the same solution, “Tell Mrs. Beug.”  All of the students know that she will not allow children to be excluded from activities or teased. 

I am equally as impressed by her academic standards.  Pauline enjoys doing her best for Mrs. Beug.  She comes home everyday talking about something she learned in reading, science, or math.

She is always accessible to parents and students.  Even during her recent break she answered e-mails concerning the writing packet. 

In my dealings with her she has always been cheerful, professional and responsive. 

Thank you for the support you give her so she can do an amazing job.

I concur with Mrs. Avery, that Mrs. Beug is an excellent teacher, and we certainly love Pauline and I am very excited that she is doing so well!

On another note, we had such a great time at our first annual Family Dance! The children were all dressed up and moms and dads were dancing with their children. We found out some of our students have talent on the drums and we also found out that I do NOT have talent on the drums!!! We also took some great pictures of everyone all dressed up. I thoroughly enjoyed watching our families have a good time.

We had a great week because that was not all that was wonderful about this week. Our 5th grades from Ms. DeLucchi's class and Mrs. Retzer's class put on a musical performance about bullying. It was funny and informative about bullys! I was so proud of their signing and their message. I even saw one of our students, who is so shy, come out of his shell and did a monologue in front of everyone! I love this job! Every day I get to see students learning and growing and teachers making a difference. :0)

Lastly, I want to share with everyone a write up in the paper in Palo Alto where one of our students, Adrienne, is there getting treatment. Adrienne may be gone from our school for now, but she is never far from our hearts. Here is the article:
