The Weekly Update
Oct 9-13th
This Week's Highlights
This has been a busy week! Our students are wrapping up the projects and are excited about showcasing them to you on Friday, October 13th between 3:30-5:30 pm. We invite you all to attend with your students. This will allow them the opportunity to show you what they know! They will present their projects to you and allow you to see other projects too! When students have finished presenting, you may take them home (or prepare to take them to the dance). Please remember not to arrive before 3:30pm. Traffic on the hill is pretty tough and it will be hard to find a parking space until after 3:30pm.
The Fall Ball is our celebration to wrap up the hard work that students have done during this unit (it is also a fundraiser for our field trip). The Fall Ball will occur on Friday night from 6:00-8:00 pm with drop off and pick up at Wells Fargo Bank parking lot. Please enter from Main Street and we will direct you on where to drop off and how to best exit. The safety of our students is very important to us! Tickets for the Fall Ball are $10.00 and can be bought at the door or prior from Ms. Shaver.
Thank you for all of our parents and students that have volunteered and worked so hard to ensure that the fall ball and our parent night is a success!
