April 12th News and Notes

Achievement Test Week Begins April 29th
As Mr. Koenig mentioned in Eagle Chirps this week, we will be taking the Iowa Basic Tests the week of April 29th.  We hope that the kids will give us their best effort during this week so we can determine where we stand as compared to students from other parts of the country.  To do so, kids will need to get plenty of rest each night and will  need to eat a good breakfast each morning to keep them alert and ready to think each testing day.  I will be providing the kids with sharp #2 testing pencils, but I am asking your help to be able to provide them with a small snack and drink each day about half way through the testing time.  If you can help out with this project, please enclose $3 in an envelope marked "Snacks for Testing Week" and return to school by Friday, April 19th.  This will give me plenty of time to purchase snacks and drinks for each testing day.  Thanks for your support with this project!
