16 students then made it to the second round to "work the room" at the Rotary Club Meeting at the Hawthorne Hotel. The Rotary members could not belive how well students were able to engage in meaningful conversation with adults they didn't know.
Eleven 5th Graders have made it to the third round. What will be next? We will find out soon!..

Absent Alert
All students who will be absent from school need to be called in on the Absent Alert line daily when they are not attending school.
I know with Parent Square there is some confusion in regards to this, but the messages are not being received by the Office. This line is available 24/7 and
your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated.
