Hello Families! 

It’s hard to believe we’ve reached the end of an amazing 3rd grade year! I want to take a moment to thank you all for your support, encouragement, and partnership throughout the year. Your children have grown so much, and it’s been a true joy to learn, laugh, and grow with them every single day. Here’s what our final week of school looks like:

 

📅 Monday, May 19th – Game Day
We’ll be enjoying a fun-filled day of games in the classroom! Your child is welcome to bring a favorite (school-appropriate) board or electronic game to share with friends.

 

🏃‍♀️ Tuesday, May 20th – Field Day
Get ready for some outdoor fun!

  • Wear: Athletic wear and sneakers

  • Time: 3rd grade will participate in Field Day from 11:00 AM to 3:20 PM

  • Lunch: Regular pizza day or bring a lunch from home – we’ll eat in the cafeteria from 11:38–11:58 AM
    Please make sure your child has a water bottle and sunscreen if needed!


🎒 Wednesday, May 21st – Last Full Day
This will be a regular school day. Please send your child with their backpack as we’ll be packing up and sending home materials and supplies from the year.

 

🌺 Thursday, May 22nd – Half Day & Luau Celebration
It’s our last day together – and we’re going out with a surprise Luau party (shh, don’t tell the kids!).Please send your child with their backpack again, as I have a few special gifts to send home with them.


From start to finish, this year has been truly unforgettable. I’ve loved every moment spent with this wonderful class and feel so lucky to have had the chance to be part of their 3rd grade journey.

 

Wishing you a fun, restful summer!

 

With love,
Mrs. Stump

Meet Mrs. Mindy Stump

I am delighted to begin my ninth year at Aspen View Academy this year! I have been teaching for 18 years. I received my bachelors degree in Elementary Education at John Brown University and my Masters of Education at Cedarville University. 

It is a privilege to be a teacher. I became a teacher to impact the lives of students. My first goal is to provide a safe and caring environment for your child. Secondly, I strive to provide a learning experience where each student is able to meet their full potential as students and future leaders. Thirdly, I want to partner with you to create a team that works for the best interests of your child. 

It is crucial to a child's success to have support and encouragement from their families, school, and community. I appreciate your involvement and support this year as we work together. I look forward to an excellent 2024-2025 school year!
