Sixth Grade Raider Report

Quarter 4    Week 3

                                        April 11-15

HERE IT IS!!!  We will have a great field trip on Friday, May 13!  We will be visiting Squire Boone Caverns in Southern Indiana to tour the caverns, do some ziplining, visit the Boone Village, and do some hiking and other activities!  We will need responsible, trustworthy parents to go as chaperones, although we will be somewhat limited in our number.  Please let us know in written form that you would like to attend, and remember that you must have a Criminal History Check on file in the office.  More details to come later!

Attention:  Parents

Kelly Harmon will be creating a video for 6th grade graduation.  She is requesting a picture of your child from his/her Kindergarten year.  The picture can be sent via email or hard copy.   The hard copy photo can be sent in to your child's teacher and Kelly will collect them.  (The hard copy picture will be returned.)  This is NOT mandatory.  However, if no kindergarten picture is received, just remember that your child's picture will not be in the video.  Deadline for picture submission is Friday, April 29th.  Pictures and/or questions can be sent directly to Kelly at mkharmon4@gmail.com.

Thank you!!!

Kelly
