This week and last, in honor of the anniversary of Arizona's statehood, students have been researching various events in Arizona state history.  Our Valentine's celebration will incorporate an in-class presentation about our research as well as other activities relating to our rich history as a state.  We encourage you to ask your child many questions as they prepare their research and write their reports to help them gain a more complete understanding of the many events around the country that shaped our growth and development as a state. We plan to make delicious fruit desserts as part of our refreshments for the occasion. If you wish to contribute anything to our Celebration, please click on the following link to sign up:   http://vols.pt/DQ7xB5   We hope everyone is able to also participate in our Pizza Friday and estimation jar Fundraisers.  Details are found in the form that was sent with your child as well as via email.  Thanks so much for your support!

After such an amazing show enjoyed by our younger classes last week, we hope to see everyone at the science fair tonight so all can bask in the joy of our student's discoveries.  Children are welcome to stay with Mr. Joe for afterschool tutoring and can then set up their projects after tutoring, or they can stay in aftercare until the beginning of the event. You are welcome to drop off your student any time between 4:30 and 5pm if they feel that they need extra time to set up their experiments.  Most students will have their presentations set up before the school day ends. Thanks again for all your support!
