Camp Week
It was much more quiet on campus this week with our 5th, 7th and 8th grade students on their class camp trips. We are looking forward to hearing their camp stories and welcome any feedback you'd like to pass along.
NatureBridge
Our 7th grade students kicked off the week with an early Monday morning departure for NatureBridge, located on beautiful Lake Crescent.
Students and staff alike were all smiles as they enjoyed the many activities at camp.
Camp Orkila
Monday was the day to load bikes and gear for the 8th grade camp trip to Orkila. A special shout out to our volunteer bike techs who helped ensure that everyone's bikes were ready to go... Peter Probst, Trent Siegel (not pictured), John Owen, Paul Steele and Justine Park (not pictured).
Students choose if they want to bike from the ferry dock to camp. Here's a photo of our bike group departing from the ferry!

Second grade students visited the Living Computer Museum this week and had a chance to program line robots!

Great News!
With restoration of funds from the state and district, we are planning to have 5 teachers on the K/1 team next school year (return to status quo staffing). Jenny Melnick will teach our K/1 multi-age and Amy and Gabi will be our kindergarten team. Anna Lindberg will be out for the first part of the year, and we are seeking a leave replacement teacher for her class to start the year at 1st grade with Anna anticipating returning after the winter break. Bre Miller (currently K) is out next year on leave, and Jennie Bender has agreed to work in a long-term role for us for Bre. We are excited she was willing to take on this role and join our team!

Attention 4th Grade Families:
At Salmon Bay, it has been a tradition that 4th grade parents "pay it forward" by serving cake and punch at the 5th grade promotion. Next year, you'll have a chance to celebrate while another team of parents serves cake and punch to you. Are you planning to come to 5th grade Promotion? Would you be willing to help slice and serve cake? Please email Jodi if you can help.
Luna Calendars Are Here!
Did you order one of the Luna calendars created by Xena's class? You can pick it up next week in Jodi's office!
