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 :)

Weekly Fact and Suggestion from Food Dude:

Picture
Fact: $218 billion worth of food is thrown away each year.
Suggestion: Students will receive one piece of pizza at a time. When they eat all of that, they may have the additional piece ordered. 
Hint: Send in some ranch dressing for them to dip their crust.

Shelter building in Survival class:

Our Bird Banding field trip experience with Paper Bird Creative & Education was so informative and cool! Check out the pictures and videos below:

This Friday, we will hike around Stone Valley's Lake Perez followed by Arbor Day activities at Carolyn's Farm. As always, bring a refillable water bottle and a non-microwavable lunch.

​As part of the upper grades social studies unit, students are focusing on helping solve problems that exist around the world. Currently, they are taking a close look at the huge amount of food waste in our country.  In an attempt to help this problem, the students have decided to help educate our parents and students by giving one bit of information or suggestion in our newsletter each week from the "Food Dude".
Here is Kostyn and Tanya's Food Dude:
Picture
​Fact: The number of pounds of waste in the U.S. per year (not counting waste in homes) is over 72 billion pounds!
Student suggestion: Talk with your child about how much they'll eat. Did you know that most of our students throw more than half an apple away? Try apple slices instead. :)

The older students have begun working on items for the "International Bazaar" in May.
(More information to come soon)

This Friday, we will be going on a hike and having lunch outdoors at Penn Roosevelt State Park. It is sure to be cold and muddy! Please dress appropriately, and do not forget a water bottle and non-microwavable lunch.  

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

Picture

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

Picture

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