On the last Monday of the school year, the entire elementary school gathered for a morning circle to bring the school year to a close in a special way. First, students were honored for their outstanding achievements in both Federal Youth Games. To loud applause, they received certificates for their special achievements and posed for a photo with their teacher, Nikki Johnson. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

An important and reliable support person<\/strong><\/p>\n

A particularly emotional moment was saying goodbye to our junior assistant, Cameron Carr, from Scotland. Cameron supported our school throughout the entire school year with exceptional dedication. He assisted with English and physical education classes, supported the children in their daily school life, and served as a calm and reliable source of support, especially for students facing social or emotional challenges. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bringing Scotland Closer to Home<\/strong><\/p>\n

During International Project Week, he also captivated the children with a project about his native Scotland, introducing them to the language and culture in an authentic and lively way. His dedication, helpfulness, and warm personality have enriched our school community, and we will miss him very much. <\/p>\n

We also said goodbye to a few children who will be leaving our school because they are moving away. Together, we looked back on the wonderful time we spent together and wished them all the best for the future. <\/p>\n

The joint morning circle was a wonderful way to wrap up the school year and demonstrated once again how important community, mutual respect, and celebrating successes together are for our elementary school.<\/p>\n
