Grades 3-8 visited the Engineering Expo last week at the Bryce Jordan Center.

We were so lucky to arrive in-time to help stock Lake Perez with Rainbow Trout! Then, we had a super hike around the lake, followed by Arbor Day activities at Carolyn's Farm!

This Friday we will be going to Coyler Lake to hike and boat! Then, we will return in time to have a presentation from Singer/Story Teller: Ken J. Galipeau (Grandpa to 2 of our students)

Kindergarten helped clean our school yard :)

On Monday, grades 5- 8 will attend the Mummenschanz performance at Eisenhower Auditorium, leaving school at 9:30 am.

On Tuesday, grades 3-8 begin taking the PSSAs! It is important that students are in attendance and on-time. We start at 8:30am and students arriving late will be a huge distraction. The testing schedule is as follows:
English/Language Arts: Tuesday - Thursday
Math: Monday - Tuesday, the following week
Science: (8th grade only) Monday - Tuesday, April 23 and 24

BTW, it is important to be to school on-time every day! School starts at 8:15 am.  (you know who you are :)
