Hi Families,

We celebrated students that are Balanced this month in our IB assembly!  Great job Esme and Zian.

Before the break Geetha (Caleb's mom) and Emma (Maisie's mom) did an amazing project of decorating small pots that included soil and seeds.   The students had a great time!  Friday before break we enjoyed our Mt. Readmore root beer float party thank you Jenny (Esme's mom) and Matt(Nao's Dad) for helping out with the party. 

We have some fun walking field trips coming up in April and May.  Sara (Henry's mom) has been working very hard coordinating that effort.  Without her help I would not be able to make this happen.    Please sign up as a chaperone the more the merrier we do need at least 5 per field trip.  

Walking field trips after lunch:

• April 14 Mike Bennett Art Studio

• April 27th Ariadne Garden

• May 7th Collage/Green Bean Books

• May 14th Portland Playhouse

Testing Dates

• April 20th iReady Diagnostic testing begins

• May 4th OSAS state standardized testing begins

Our Portfolio Party is April 24th at 1:30.  The students will showcase their art and writing.  Families are invited to join us, including grandparents if you wish.   

Portland Playhouse has The SpongeBob Musical in case you want to attend with your family before or after the field trip.   There is a "Pay What You Wish" performance on Wednesday, May 6th, where ticket prices start at $5, and a similar BIPOC night on May 8th. Otherwise tickets range from $30-$60 depending on the night unless you qualify for "Arts for All".  

Birthdays:  Elementary birthdays are special.  Feel free to email me and coordinate a time to bring snacks, cupcakes, whatever.  Usually I do the celebration at the end of the day outside.
