Ryan Meli Wins Our Ninth "Golden Apple" !
Ryan Meli, our PE/Health teacher, is new to our district. His first day was in the fall of 2024, but you would never know it. He blends in so well with the Number Three School Annex Community. Mr. Meli is a team player. He works well with his colleagues. He helps out throughout the school without being asked...taking on any assignment. Mr. Meli has a lot of fans, students and staff alike!
This May he organized a fundraising event, the "Dunk - a - Teacher" Raffle, to provide funds for Field Day in June. The entire school gathered in our gym as a community. Each student that had their name drawn from the bucket had three chances to hit the target and get a teacher wet. The event was enjoyed by all! We can't wait for Field Day on June 5th! *See pictures in this newsletter.
