‘EVERY KID IN A PARK’ TO BE HELD FOR SECOND YEAR
The Obama Administration has just launched the second year of the Every Kid in a Park program. This program provides every fourth grader in America with a one-year pass so they and their families can visit federal lands for free for a full year - this includes National Parks, National Forests, and more! The intent of this program is to help connect children with nature and public lands, as someday these places will be theirs to protect and care for.
If you know a 4th grader or someone who has one in their family, ensure they visit the Every Kid in a Park website (www.everykidinapark.gov/) to get their pass.

Parent Notification Letters went home this week regarding the “GALLUP POLL.”
This is a student poll that is taken by all 5th graders in this School District as well as across the country. Tustumena has been involved in this poll for several years now, but it is not required that your child participate. If you should choose not to have your 5th grader participate, please return the signed parent notification letter to your child’s teacher as soon as possible. For more information, I would suggest that you go to the GALLUP POLL website at http://www.gallupstudentpoll.com to view the brochure and also the survey questions.
Thank you, Mr. Mills
