EverGreen Families,Happy March! It’s been a great month with a successful Talent Show, spring approaching, and the developing news regarding our permanent home. As some of you know, we have recently put in an offer to purchase the Taylor Complex (5 buildings and about 17 acres). Our plan is to build off of the gymnasium (building 3) and finally have the entire school in one area. It is a beautiful site with lots of green space and mature trees. We are very hopeful that this offer is accepted so we can grow together as a school. We have also started giving our students 4 recesses (or brain breaks) throughout the day. I recently sent home a letter explaining to families the reason for this. Numerous scientific studies have shown the academic and behavioral benefits to “more recess”. Please see your respective teacher for more information/benefits of this program. We are the ONLY school in Racine with this program and we are excited to have the chance to do so. Thank you so much for all the support you show towards the school and we look forward to a fantastic rest of the year. Regards,Principal Meier

Just a reminder about the Referral ProgramWe are currently looking for help from our families to sign up new students. That is why we are turning to you as our best marketing resource!! Last year our growth was a direct result of you going out and spreading the word. There is nothing like the recommendation of a satisifed parent.

Details: Refer a family and they sign up You choose a $100 gift card from our Scrip program Gift cards will be awarded in November if the referred child (any

grade) is still enrolledBONUS:

If you refer a family with a 6th-8th grader, you will also be able to choose either: 3 EverGreen polo shirts or a sweatshirt

Don’t forget to buy you Pocket Peelers to help support the Lathrop Buildings trip to Camp Timberlee
