UNCC NC Science Festival Event - http://ncsciencefestival.uncc.edu/
This sounds like a great event for families to attend!
Field Trip Permission Slip - Please return your child's permission slip and $5 fee for our field trip.
CAN FOOD DRIVE - Three of our second graders - Kaylin, Andrea, and Jordis - are organizing a can food drive for their Genius Hour Project. All food will be donated to the CCM food pantry. This food pantry directly benefits some of our students and their families at Coltrane Webb. The food drive will be on April 21st.
We are getting close to the summer and that means that students who rely on school breakfasts and lunch will need to find alternative sources for meals. Please support our students in their efforts to make sure that all kids have food to eat this summer!!
