Hello 7th Grade Parents,
The 7th grade students will be taking a field trip to the National Mississippi River Museum on Wednesday, November 16th. We will be leaving school at 8:10 and returning at 4:00. Students will be taking a 2-hour guided tour of the museum and will have 45 minutes to explore with their homeroom teacher. This field trip will help to highlight the ecosystem content we have been studying in class. Students will need to bring a sack lunch for the field trip. If you need to have a school-provided lunch, please let me know and your student’s lunch account will be charged.
Reminder please pick up or take home pumpkins from our elementary pumpkin contest on Oct. 27. If pumpkins start to get soft, we do need to throw them away. Thank you again to everyone who participated, they were ALL amazing!!
