Weekly Update 4/22





I hope everyone had a Happy Easter and enjoyed the long weekend!


We have hit the ground running, starting the week off with our final in-school Science field trip for this year. This time students rotated through 3 different classes: Eco Explorers, Energy Matters, and Body Works. I was SO impressed by the vocabulary and concepts that students remembered from earlier in the year!  If you haven’t yet sent in the fee for this, please send it in by this Friday, ($21). Here are a few highlights from our wonderful day!
