Weekly News

This week is B Week


Personal Reflection

I know by Friday afternoon we are all so tired.  I see it in everyone's faces.  What a blessing that is to me; we are all tired because we have poured our heart and soul into our kids every day!  My prayer each morning on the way to school is that we make a positive difference and experience joy while doing it!  It is a blessing to work with people who do this every single day!  Please remember this on the days when we are growing weary from the hard work we do!    You are making a difference!


EPIC Moments at Paine

“In life, we can work so hard to get the kinks out that we forget to put the peaks in.”  ― Chip Heath, The Power of Moments: Why Certain Experiences Have Extraordinary Impact

Here are a few pictures from some EPIC moments experienced by our Kindergarten students during their Fairy Tale Unit (and there are more to come)!
