 Worker’s Holiday will be held at the Aquatic Center this Thursday,  March 7.   All assignments must be turned in by Wednesday morning, March 6.  We will ride buses to and from, and will swim from 1-2:30 PM. If any parents would like to help, we could use four chaperones who are willing to get in the water with the students.  Please let us know. 

Also, we need you to sign the slip giving your child permission to attend the Worker’s Holiday (providing s/he has all assignments turned in and has an 80% or above) and return it by Wed, March 6.  We are asking for a $1.00 donation each to cover the cost of renting the pool. Thanks!

American Heros were selected last Friday. Students were given a report form to fill out. The reports are due this Friday, March 8.  We are using that information to write the script for our 5th grade program held in May, so it is critical to have the report turned in on time. The music teachers are helping teach the songs for that program, and the art teacher will be teaching our students to sketch a portrait of their hero.  It will be an impressive production.

Science Expo forms included with your information today are due by Fri. March 15.  Knowing your child’s plans helps us prepare our classroom for this big event, and it helps your child prepare ahead ;)  We are eager to see the experiments, inventions, and research projects our students will be sharing.  Don’t waste time getting started because most projects take a bit of time to do well.  Students will be given information in their science classes on how to set up displays and/or share what they have learned.  The Science Expo itself will be held on Tuesday, April 2  in each 5th grade classroom. Students will be giving a 3-5 minute presentation during the morning in their own classrooms.   Families are invited to come between 2:45-3:30. Please don’t take  your child home before 3:30.  Let us know if you have questions.

We are excited to attend the student performance of Newsies on Monday, March 18.  The cost for this performance is $1.00. We will be walking to and from the Randall Jones Theater for this 10 AM performance. All students will attend this.

No school next Monday and Tuesday. This is a Teacher Development day.   Enjoy your family this long weekend and we will see your child on Wednesday, March 13th.   Please don’t hesitate to email us with your questions.
