Congratulations to Molly, Preston, and Jewelvia for passing all of their multiplication and division 3 minute tests and joining the “Math Wizards Club”!

City Beautiful and STAND are having a bottle drive this week to collect recyclable bottles and cans to raise money to plant flowers in Snow School’s Peace Garden.  Please send in any empty cans or bottles to school this week.  They will be turning them in on Friday.

Snow School’s Annual Picnic is June 5th.  Each year, classes organize raffle baskets for the picnic.  This year our classroom basket will have the theme of “Gardening”.  Please donate any new items for our basket that relate to gardening by the end of May so we can organize the basket for the picnic.  Suggestions may be watering cans, gardening gloves, tools, seeds, decorations, planters, ect.  Be creative!!!!!!!

The 3rd grade Spring Music Concert is scheduled for Thursday, April 30th at 7:00 p.m.  More information will be coming home soon from Mr. Stinson.

I hope everyone has gotten a chance to start on their Science Fair Projects.  Those students who ordered posterboards through the school should be receiving them as soon as they arrive at the school.  Projects are due May 11th and the Science Fair is May 14th.

I am sending home students’ Unit 8 Math Test AND Re-test today.  You can keep both tests as I have already entered their grades for report cards.  Most students were successful in improving their grades on the re-test.

Any students who are involved in City Beautiful/STAND, the meeting for this Wednesday has been rescheduled for Thursday.  Ms. Zechar will be sending home reminder notes this week.
