Calling all trivia fans! This Tuesday, November 14th, there will be a short informational meeting for any 5th-8th graders interested in trying out for Scholastic Bowl. The meeting will be from 2:15-2:45 in Mr. Neis's room. Students must have transportation home after the meeting. Contact Mr. Neis or Miss Kron if you have any questions. We hope to see you there!
Families - make sure to check out the lost and found at your child's school. With the crazy up and down weather, items can get tossed aside or forgotten. Items will be gathered and donated before Thanksgiving Break. Make sure to have your child check also!
