New update: Finally!

This is a busy week. Tuesday we have the Castle Rock counselors coming in to sign 6th graders up for 7th grade. Midterms also come home on Tuesday. On Wednesday we have a guest speaker who has traveled to India who is willing to come and share his knowledge with us. Thanks Kyra for setting this up! Chris Dixon will be here Friday to celebrate "NO missing work." He is having recess with us--for 1 HOUR--and then providing pizza for lunch.
Also, our end of the year Bluesheet Field Trip has been decided. We will go to the Outlaws' Sportsplex from 9-11, then over to Amend Park for lunch, and finally to Geyser Park from 12:00-1:45. We will return to school at approximately 2:15. The date is set for Wednesday, June 3. (We will return in time for music.) All students who have 6/8 weeks signed on their bluesheet will earn this trip. We're hoping for 100% participation. If you have any questions, please email or call me.
Thanks!
Mrs. Morales
