**END OF THE YEAR (EOY) 6TH GRADE ACTIVITIES**
An EOY field trip has been scheduled for Skyzone in May. An all-exclusive $35 will be due by May 2nd for admission to Skyzone, a commemorative t-shirt with student names printed, and EOY picnic. More details and permission slips will be sent in the coming weeks. However, I wanted to give advance notice to plan accordingly.
Thanks to all the families who attended, and the STUDENTS who presented their Student-Led Conferences in March. Your children did a wonderful job, and I was happy to have such great conversations about where they are going in their learning. Your feedback was very, very helpful!
Looking forward to ending the year with a cheer!
The holidays are fast approaching! PTA is set the return of Winter Wonderland on Friday, Dec. 2nd. Each class has been asked to prepare a silent auction themed basket for the night. Mrs. Hughes ‘class will be having a “Science Experiments” basket. I DESPERATELY NEED YOUR HELP! We ONLY have THREE ITEMS (thank you so far to Gabe, Viviana, & Alyson). If you are able to donate items to make the basket EXPLODE, then please visit this link to sign up right away:
