Spruce Elementary School

Congratulations to the Spruce Girls On The Run team who got together in Golden Gate Park on Saturday, 5/12 to run a 5K race. That's 3.1 miles!!  Spruce students all ran with an adult running buddy including Spruce teachers, teachers from other schools and friends from the community.  It was hard work, but the girls had a positive attitude and were well prepared, thanks to their coaches, Ms. Scinto, Ms. Davila, and Ms. Freiberger.  What a day!

Two students represented Spruce proudly at the district's annual Spelling Bee at Elk's Lodge this past Thursday, 5/10/12.  Zoe Rodriguez & Oliver Elias Tinoco were our top spellers and they did an excellent job. Ms. King accompanied them along with members of their families. Nice work!

Well, the two weeks of testing are actually behind us! The boxes are being packed up to be sent off to the state on Monday. Congratulations to all Spruce students in second through fifth grade who worked especially hard and did their best. And, of course, to the fantastic teachers who made that possible. Students all remembered  our mantra this year: Learn It, Know It, Show It! Nice work.

This past Saturday was a first for Spruce! Students, staff and friends got together at Golden Gate Park to participate in Playworks' Run For Recess.  Some of us ran and 5K and other walked a 1-mile track.  Coach W cheered us all on and everyone enjoyed the beautiful sunny day. Students from our Girls on the Run club showed off their new running talent! Click here to see the photos.

Did you know that there is a new student club on campus? We now have our very own chapter of the national Girls On The Run.  Students in our upper grades have signed up to run, get healthy, and even participate in races.  Ms. Freiberger, Ms. Scinto, and Ms. Davila have been organizing practices, meetings, and getting everyone pumped!  Each student will run with a running buddy in a big race in a few weeks.
