What's going on in 6th Grade?
Our first Teamwork Tuesday is Tuesday, October 14! During the school day, students will design their very own mini-cities. Please join us from 6:00–7:00 p.m. to experience all of the city designs! City and county planners will serve as judges, and awards will be given to some of the most imaginative designs. Don’t miss this chance to celebrate our students’ big ideas on a small scale!
We are excited to introduce Flex Fridays at our school! During these special days, students will use their 30-minute WIN (“What I Need”) time to explore new interests, learn new skills, and connect with people in our school and community. Flex Fridays might include cooking, crafting, guest speakers, or other creative, hands-on activities that allow students to learn in fun and engaging ways.
To make Flex Fridays a success, we need your help! Teachers have limited time to plan and organize these activities each week, so we are looking for parents who are willing to:
Serve as a Flex Friday Organizer. This person (or team of parents) would help coordinate the schedule, reach out to volunteers and community members, and keep communication flowing.
Volunteer to lead or assist with activities. You might share a personal skill, teach a short class, or help bring in community members to share their talents.
You can sign up for one Friday, several, or help throughout the year. Every bit of help is valuable and appreciated!
If you are interested in being an organizer, volunteering your time, or sharing an idea, please let us know by filling out the form below.
We know from experience how much students benefit when families and the community get involved, and we are excited to see the variety of opportunities Flex Fridays can bring. Thank you in advance for considering this opportunity to enrich our students’ learning.
