PBL Expo Night!
You're invited to our Spring PBL Expo Night on Monday, May 15th from 5:30-6:00 p.m. We have learned a lot about endangered animals around the world. The students have worked hard to research an animal and create a class book. We are so excited to share our books with you! If you would like to purchase a book, we will have them for sale for $5 (cash or checks made payable to Dixie Magnet Elementary). The students will donate all proceeds to WWF and adopt an animal in the name of each class.
Field Day!
Field Day will be on Friday, May 19th! We're so excited about this day of fun in the sun! We will participate in lots of fun games and activities all day. Be sure to send your child to school in comfortable clothes and tennis shoes! If you would like for your child to wear sunscreen, please apply it at home before sending them to school as we cannot apply it at school. You may also send a water bottle to school with your child!
