I hope everyone has a safe/fun/relaxing Easter Break. When we come back, MAP testing will start, we have the talent show, the international fair will happen, the 8th graders will take their last finals as middle schoolers, we have a filed day, and then graduation on May 22.
Gowns – Last Monday, your student should have brought home a red graduation gown, please get the graduation gown steam cleaned and return it by, or before Wednesday, April 23rd. The students need the gowns for their pictures on Thursday May 1st.

D.C. Trip –
The 8th grade D.C. meeting was held April 15th in the 7th grade classroom, if you missed the meeting, feel free to contact Mrs. Jankowski or Miss. Mondary to get the information.
Serve-A-Thon – This year, in an effort to increase 8th grade participation, the 8th graders will be raising money for LUMA, where Pastor Cook works. The 8th graders have a class goal of $3,750, that is about $250 a student. If we meet this goal, the 8th graders will get a movie day and an extra recess. In the process of raising the $250, the students will earn a non-uniform day at $100 raised, and make a sundae when they raise $200.
International Fair Costume – I have found a German costume on amazon that I believe will work. Students will need a white shirt to wear under the costume. The costume does come with knee high white socks, these should fit most of the students, we will try on the costumes this week so that way if alterations are needed there will be plenty of time.
International Fair Room Moms – I will need your help for the International Fair. I will need help passing out food and stamping passports. If you could trade off every at 30 minutes and help me, I would greatly appreciate it.
Eligibility – Make sure your student has at least a 75% so they can be eligible for extracurricular activities include all athletic, Spring Play, and non-athletic school sponsored clubs. Band, Chess Club, and Lego Club are excluded from eligibility requirements.
