This Thursday is the school's History Fair.  All Kindergarteners need to be at school by 6:00 in costume to be judged.  Please be on time to help the judges stay on schedule.

Just a reminder there is no school this Friday, April 7.

On Wednesday, April 12, we will be having an Easter egg hunt! Hopefully we will have good weather, otherwise we will hunt indoors.  Mrs. Gaines' class will be having a school-wide Egg Drop Contest on Friday.  I encourage all the KG to participate!! Check out Mrs. Gaines' column for more info.

 

Grades 1-2

We will see first hand tomorrow, where all the garbage goes, as we are guided through the Erie Landfill. It will give us a new appreciation for trash.

Get ready to participate in the Annual Egg Drop to be held on Friday, April 14th.  Last year it snowed!  All grades, K-10 are encouraged to join in the fun.

Check out the enclosed guidelines for the school wide egg drop to be held on Friday, April 14.

History Fair projects are due tomorrow.

Just a short note, since we have a short week (no school on Friday).  We will have our spelling and Bible quizzes on Thursday. Also, I have heard some great things from the students about the Social Studies projects. Looking forward to seeing them on Thursday.

Galveston Update:  The students have almost raised the full amount for the trip.  The students have worked hard to raise the funds together as well as earning $100 on their own to contribute.  We are still lacking $50 per student. We are asking the parents to contribute the $50 per student to meet our entire budget goal. Thank you for helping us!

Remember!  The History Fair is April 6, 6:00 – 7:30.
