A new hose and valve attachment head were added. The pump handle remains a bit hard to pull up and push down. It might take a large person to do the pumping. Now you should be able to fill your bike tires outside again.   NAVIGATORS PREK VISITED WITH THE QUEEN - ZHELEZKO The Queen has been making the rounds among the PreK classrooms. Ms. Darcie, who teaches makerspace activities to the students, hosted the tea and biscuits gatherings with the Queen. Students in Ms. Zhelezko's room got to show their Queen-related art work to the Queen and ask questions about her life. After that, the Queen used her scepter to grant students their wish to be a princess, prince or knight for a day. She also handed out little gems and chocolates.  It was a special day for these very excited students. Link to 37 Pictures.  LINKS TO PICTURES ADDED LATE TO TUESDAY'S ANNOUNCEMENTS Photo links were added to Tuesday's announcements after they were posted to families' emails prior to Memorial Day weekend.
