Week of February 18th

4th and 5th grade students will be presenting "Heart of America" at the Performing arts center tomorrow night at 7:00.  Students are asked to be at the high school music room between 6:30 and 6:45 for warming up.  Performance starts at 7:00.

Students are asked to wear patriotic clothing. Reds, whites, blues etc.  Dress pants are suggested, but honestly at their age I think my best pants was a pair of blue jeans. As long as there are not holes, that is fine. (After all... they ARE blue!)

May field trips
We have two field trips scheduled for May. The first is to the Kalamazoo County fairgrounds for the rock and mineral show on May 3rd.  Parents, this is a GREAT place for the kids to get some phenomenal rock specimens for 10 cents to a few dollars  And its a great opportunity for you to buy beautifully cut sapphires, emeralds, ruby's, citrine, topaz, amethyst and other stones for a 1/4 - 1/2 the cost of a store. 
Parents who are interested in going are asked to meet us at the location. We will leave Sunset around noon and most likely arrive around 12:30. We'll stay for about an hour before we have to head back.
The Wolf Lake Fish Hatchery and South Haven Trip is currently scheduled for Friday , May 17th.  We will go rain or shine..... as the date approaches I will send more details regarding how long we're gong to be at each location etc.  Due to the soaring cost of paying for the busses (Last year cost  us $432.00) this is the one trip that we allow kids to ride with their parents to and from our locations. So please start thinking about if you would like to go on this trip. Its usually the best!
