We have some exciting news to share...
Our PTA is thrilled to bring back the fantastic Cranbrook Science Night! There's a bit of a twist though, instead of only having the 14 experiment stations like last year, we're going to have the AMAZING Star Lab and a ROCKET LAUNCH as well!!! We're so excited for the kiddos...and maybe us adults too. ;)
When: Thursday, April 19th from 6:00-8:00 pm.
In order to pull off this fun filled event, we're definitely going to need some helping hands. Below is a link for the sign up genius, we're only asking for parents to donate one hour of your time, ensuring there will be time for you to check out everything and enjoy the evening with your kiddos as well.

Celebrating "March is Reading Month"
Students thoroughly enjoyed their time with Maria Dismondy! Such a special morning! Mrs. Dismondy's visit was made possible through the profits from our Fall Scholastic Book Fair! To learn more about Mrs. Dismondy, please visit her website to learn about her books and the empowering messages they contain: http://mariadismondy.com/
Tuition Expedition Drawing is Monday, March 26th: It's not too late to get your ticket(s)!
No School Friday, March 30th = No Bagels!
We will resume Bagel Sale, Friday, April 13th.
Our 5th graders (with the support of their families) will host bagel sales every Friday. Students may purchase a bagel for $1.00 (Blueberry, Cinnamon Sugar or Plain). The proceeds will help to pay for the 5th grade end of year school Celebration ceremony, “Celebration” T-shirts for all students and school gifts. We will partner again this year with Blazing Bagels as their bagels are yummy and “nut free” (boiled in water not in any type of oil). Teachers will take a pre-count each Wednesday to help ensure we have an adequate number of bagels each week.
