We Need Your Help!
Our Kindergarten classes will begin their Project Based Learning Unit on Community Helpers in April where students will be studying different careers. We will have a kickoff entry event where our Kindergarteners will be interviewing people from a variety of careers. That is where we need your help. If you would be interested in helping our Kindergartners by volunteering your time to be interviewed as a part of their research and studies of their Community Helpers unit, please fill out the survey below. We greatly appreciate your partnership with our students and our school.
