Hello Families!

It was wonderful seeing so many of you at the auction this weekend. Thank you for all you do in supporting our school. We are truly lucky to have such generous and supportive families.

This week we are wrapping up DRA testing, going on a field trip, walking for our Walk A Thon, and looking forward to a three day weekend!

About our Field Trip-
A few reminders:
All students will need a sack lunch (preferably disposable rather than in a lunch box) on Thursday. Please do not send your child with any money, as snack bar items will not be purchased!!
All chaperones must drive themselves to the Wildlife Experience. It is easy to find at the corner of Peoria and Lincoln. google map to Wildlife Experience 

We will be leaving Coyote Hills shortly after 9:00 (as soon as everyone's here and we can get loaded), and will meet the chaperones at the entrance to the Wildlife Experience.
Chaperones, it may be a good idea to bring a backpack to help carry students' snacks, etc.
 We will watch an IMAX movie at 12:00, and load buses to return to Coyote Hills about 1:00.
We will provide chaperones with an agenda on Thursday. 
Look for more information via email this week from your child's teacher.

Walk a Thon is Friday during our specials time (2:00-2:45). Please join us!!
