NIGHT Tomorrow, MAY 8, 7:00 - 8:30 p.m.
We invite you to come and see the many accomplishments the students
have made through the year, to include travel brochures, simple machines,
dioramas, and outdoor education videos.
All-School Night will begin promptly at 7:00 p.m. in the gym. After a time of welcome and announcements,
all classrooms will be open. Please
make sure that your children remain with you throughout the evening. This event is designed to be a family
time, and we ask that no children roam or visit rooms without
supervision. After seeing your
child’s work, you may want to take the opportunity to visit next year’s
classroom(s) to get a glimpse of what lies ahead. Student
