Save the Date (and the puppies)!



Reminder: We hope to see everyone at the Parent Information Night on Thursday at 7:00 p.m. in the Elementary gym. This is an opportunity to get clarification on procedures that are new and/or different in the fourth grade as well as get a better understanding of the philosophies of the fourth grade team. This is NOT a conference night.

Interested in a puppy? An adult female husky was rescued a few weeks ago and has a litter of puppies (10) who are looking for homes. They are soooooo cute, but those not adopted will be taken to the pound next week. See Mrs. Thompson for more information.

Yes, it's still hot at school, but we keep plugging away. Today the students presented their science safety information in a variety of formats including puppet shows, skits, songs, and posters. A science safety quiz is planned for early next week. This quiz must be passed and a safety contract signed by both student and parent before a student can participate in a hands-on science experiment.


If you have not signed and returned the Gauche Park permission slip, please do so as soon as possible. We like to take advantage of the park's proximity for science and social studies. Also, there were two Highlights order forms in the Friday folder last week. Even if you do NOT plan to order, please take the time to SIGN and return the form. I earn freebies for the classroom for each slip I send in. The book orders also earn free stuff for the classroom. To order online go to Scholastic's home page and register.
