PRINCIPAL’S PAWS
Wow! The Family Science Night put on by FSU was spectacular! We had about
40 families who came out and did hands-on experiments last night. All of
the children received a homework pass - but I'm sure most of them will come
with homework in hand anyway! This event was so exciting and the projects
were of such original quality, we're working with FSU to put on this hands-
on Science Night in the FALL next year. I think it will really spark some
young minds and help them to begin thinking ahead!
THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
There aren’t enough words to express our thanks to ALL of the wonderful
volunteers who made the Spring Festival the most successful one in at least
5 years. Together we do make a difference!
MS. HOPE’S CORNER
The fifth graders will be going to either Fairview or Swift Creek on
Tuesday, April 27, 2004. Parents of fifth graders need to make sure that we
have your correct address to insure that course request information is
forwarded to the correct middle school. I am striving for "the right
school" and "the right courses selected" and need your help. It is
important that students get off to a great start in middle school. Their
first day "impression" is crucial to how well they make the transition.
Therefore, if you have questions, please call before school is out and/or
check with your feeder school over the summer. Also, as we approach the end
of the school year, parents need to be aware that we have "MANY" items of
clothing in our lost and found that have not been claimed. Please encourage
your child(ren) to see if any of these items belong to them. Finally, if
you did not attend the Spring Festival, you missed a fun filled activity.
Our PTO, volunteers, teachers and staff are to be commended for their hard
work and anyone else who contributed to make this event a huge success.
