*We had a great time on our field trip to the fairgrounds! The students were fantastic and interacted nicely with the presenters at each learning station.
*Be on the lookout for an email from SignUp Genius. Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held from October 20 through October 24 and you will be able to select a day and time that is convenient for you using SignUp Genius.
*It’s not too late to sign up for PTO membership, just let me know if you need another form. They would like to have those forms returned by September 19. The class with the most participation will win a pizza party!
*The 5th grade Grandparents/Special Person Day will be on October 3 from 8:30 am – 9:30 am.
