Family Learning Night
3/19 2nd Annual Wolves-on-Wheels
Let's have great night and skate together from 5-7 p.m. at Moonlight Rollerway in Glendale! $20 ticket donation per person. Your $20 donation includes skate rental. Everyone who enters must have a ticket regardless if they skate or not. We'll be selling tickets before and after school at the top of the ramp. Cash only - no refunds.
This was a really fun night and a successful fundraiser for us last year. From last year's proceeds, grade 4 purchased circuit boards for science, wobbly chairs, art supplies, and new copies of Bud, Not Buddy. All proceeds go to upper grade classrooms.

Cesar Chavez birthday - School closed.
4/6 - 4/10

Field Trip to JPL. All chaperone spots have been filled.
Notes: We are 2/3 of the way through the year. This is a great time to have a conversation with your child reviewing your expectations regarding effort in class and citizenship at school. Additionally, ask your child about his/her supply of erasable pens. This is a good time to refresh your child's supply.
