End of 2017 school year Your counselor has been busy helping the Seniors get ready for graduation. Congratulation to all of our senior class of 2017 on their accomplishment of graduating high school. Now on to thier next adventure of life. Grades K-2 will be completing MAPS testing in May prior to leaving for the summer. I want to welcome Christopher Paitz and Siarah Willenberg to the Litchfield Chapter of National Honor Society. Second Step lessons have been going well in the PreK-2nd grade classrooms. We continue to learn about greeting others and expressing and identifying feelings.
