Keep in mind, the only item in the gradebook so far for 3rd trimester history is the American Revolution Test, so the test score will be identical to the overall class grade until we get some daily assignments in there after spring break.

Please come in and check the lost and found by Friday, March 30th!  There are so many items ...... coats, shirts, books, water bottles, lunch boxes, and even shoes! All items that are left after Friday will be donated.

Make sure to check the bottom of that backpack!

For those of you who still need some parent participation hours or just want to help, Miss Montes is looking for a little help as she prepares for the Elementary School Spring Program.

She is specifically looking for interested people who can sew, and/or want to put their creativity to use.

Also, she's looking for anyone who has access to medieval costuming.  You can email me or her if you are interested.
