Week of Oct. 24th

Greetings Families,

We practiced an earthquake disaster drill at school on Thursday.  The students did an excellent job of taking cover and exiting the room in a mature manner.  Tias also did a wonderful job since he was selected to be a "victim" during the drill for Search and Rescue and had to stay behind in the classroom alone.  Here is a picture from Samuel's mom, Mrs. Hughes, of the students waiting patiently in their line during the drill.

This Friday is our field trip.  Please be at school at 6:30am, even if your child is riding the bus or not.  See previous post for all the details of the trip. Here are our chaperones that were selected:

-Brianna Patterson-Tara Holgate-Peyton's mom
-Lorinda Hughes-Samuel's mom
-Kristin Hoerger-Levi's mom
-Robin Jensen-Riley's mom
