This Wednesday is the Academic Fair.  There will be many projects on display from every grade level.  Presentation boards are due Monday and students should be prepared with their 5 minute oral presentations.  Presentations will be given throughout the week as time allows unless your child is in the actual Academic Fair.

Students will be meeting again for the last of the health talks.  We will be meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday during our regular scheduled switching schedule.

Please make sure your child is charging their iPads nightly.  I am having many students that are not charging during the night and come to school with 7% battery charge.

I will not be assigning math homework on Wednesday so those in the fair don't feel overwhelmed.

Have a great week!
