We are looking for a parent volunteer to help out for about 1 hour every week. We need help on the first school day of each week from 12:00 to 1:00 (usually Mondays unless there is no school on Monday and then it would be Tuesday). Some of the duties are: sorting student work, stuffing BEAR folders, filing notes from home, and fixing broken books. If you are available to do this on a regular basis, please email Mrs.Wright at awright112@gmail.com.

Marbles

We had an amazing field trip to Marbles! A huge thanks to our wonderful chaperones: Elizabeth Goodwin, Holly Taylor, Kirsten Bachmann, and Keri Sikes.

The students had a blast exploring the museum but the highlight was definitely Born to be Wild 3D. It is a heartwarming documentary that captures the remarkable bond between humans and animals. It was a great segue into our study of Africa this week...
