Our Mission: It is the mission of Speas Elementary School to provide its students with the tools necessary to successfully meet the challenges they will face in a diverse world.

Kudos:

To Julie Merrill for obtaining a $300 class grant.  Way to go Merrill!   If your interested I included a link to the site she used below.

To all our K-3 teachers for getting all of the assessments done on time!  Way to go all you.  We know it was not easy.  But strong teachers make it happen.
