What's Happening?
Monday is our field trip to the Fox Theater. We will leave right after the morning news and return in the afternoon. We will eat lunch when we return. Please remind your child to eat breakfast. It will be a longer period until lunch. Also, watch the weather and remind your child to dress appropriately. We may stand outside for a short period before entering the theater.
Students received their 5th grade t-shirts today. Please have your child wear this shirt on Monday. Please do not allow your child to alter the shirt in any way (cutting, writing on it, etc). We will wear them again to other field trips and for 5th Grade Finale. We are looking forward to a great trip!
Don't forget to return permission slips for our trip to Hull Middle School on 3/19.
Log reading minutes on Beanstack.
