April 19th News and Notes

Snack Fund for Achievement Test Week
Achievement Tests begin Monday, April 29th.  If you have not yet turned in your $3 contribution to the snack fund, you can do so on Monday of next week.  The more money in the fund, the better likelihood that I will be able to afford a small snack and drink for every student for four mornings of testing.  Thank you for your help with this project!

Science and Fine Arts Fair - Monday, April 22nd
Please make plans to attend the Science and Fine Arts Fair Monday evening after school.  First and Second Grades will have a table on the Science side displaying our Science News, Science Journals, and a current experiment we are working on involving compost.  Each student will also have two pieces of Art that will be displayed on the Fine Arts side of the fair.  See you then!

Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.  Acts 2:38
