The 6th grade

On Monday they are going to the NASA Aeronautics Lab like the last few years and I’m going with them. They also will be going to AuSable Institute.
They are going next week, leaving on Wednesday morning and will return on Friday afternoon.

Did you know that our 7th boys basketball is in 1st place in their Division?!


I have some of my note cards in the office and on the TRIP table. Some of the money will be donated to Haiti at the end of the school year.

Until next time
