Celebrate America: 250 Years in the Making Night
Get Ready to Celebrate America!
Our students have been working hard on their Celebrate American Fair Projects, and we can’t wait for you to see their creativity and dedication come to life!
Join us for an exciting evening on Thursday, April 30th, as we celebrate the United States of America through student projects, presentations, and delicious food. Each grade level will showcase their assigned USA projects with displays, performances, and interactive experiences.
Here’s what to expect:
5:15 PM – Students should arrive and check in with their teachers in their classrooms.
5:30 PM – The American Float Parade will begin in the Family Life Center, featuring student presentations.
After the parade, families are invited to tour classrooms to view projects and sample food from around the USA.
Please check your child’s classroom newsletter or teacher’s website for specific details on what your student needs to bring and prepare for their presentation.
We look forward to seeing you there for this fun and educational evening!
Spring MAP and Finals Testing
Students have begun MAP testing and will take finals next week. It is imperative for students to get a good night’s rest and study for their upcoming exams. Please make sure your student is on time and their Chromebooks are charged. If students arrive with a dead Chromebook or it dies when testing, they will receive a silent lunch.
