We have all the parent chaperones we need. Thank you! Students should bring a snack and a sack lunch. Students should wear shoes comfortable for walking.

5/29 Friday -"Voices Within"Performance

Important! Students need to be at school at 8 a.m. We need the extra time to warm-up and rehearse with the Master Chorale singers. 

Clothing: Students should wear plain, solid-color T-shirts. They will be given a white Voices Within shirt the morning of the performance and we don't want any logos or detailing showing through. Students should wear black jeans or pants. If this isn't an option, they should wear the darkest pants they have. No hats.

Our performance (one time only!) is going to be on May 29th at 9 AM in the MPR. Don't miss it!

6/4 Last Day of School; 4th Grade End-of-Year Party

Items Needed:

Newspaper! We need LOTS of newspaper for an upcoming project. Please feel free to drop off anytime this week.

Classroom clean-out is this Friday afternoon. Students will be bringing home all of their projects/ work/belongings. Please have your child bring a sturdy, large, two- handled bag to transport his/her belongings home. A double bagged Trader Joe's shopping bag or other reusable grocery bag works well.
