Naper Settlement Field Trip Reminders
We will be visiting Naper Settlement on Wednesday, March 23. Students will be participating in indoor and outdoor activities on this trip, so they should dress appropiately for the weather. Also, students will need to bring a sack lunch clearly labeled with their name.
Too Good For Drugs
Deputy K talked to students about the dangers of marijuana and inhalants during our final session of T.G.F.D. The students received information sheets about both of these topics that can be shared and discussed with parents. On Monday, I will introduce a "Promise Letter" assignment that will need to be turned in by Wednesday, April 6. This allows students the option to work on it before, during, or after Spring Break. Also, a T.G.F.D. Graduation has been scheduled for Wednesday, April 20 at 8:30 a.m.
Looking Ahead... Help Wanted
I still need one more classroom helper for the Geospace program on Wednesday, April 6 from 9:15 - 11:15 a.m. Please let me know if you are interested!
