Baltimore Aquarium Field Trip:  We are having an all-school field trip next Wednesday, April 30th.  Our doors will be closed for the day. Parents will take their children directly to the aquarium. If you are planning to go, please return the form that was sent home a few weeks ago, along with payment.  Our group gets a special rate for the entrance fee.  If you do not turn in the money and form ahead of time, you will have to pay the full price.   

Science STEM Fair Projects need to be turned into the student’s classroom by Friday, May 2.

Science STEM Fair:  Our Science STEM Fair is just around the corner.  It will take place on Sunday, May 4, beginning at 1 pm. Attendance will be given for K-8 students.  The Fair will begin in the classrooms and then move to the gymnasium.  Be sure to invite grandparents and friends.

I Spy, Bible & Ukulele Clubs will meet on Wednesday, May 7, from 3:30-4:15 pm.

Dinner Theater:  On Friday, May 9th our 2nd/3rd graders will present a musical, “Kids Praise! A Joy-fulliest Noise”.  Dinner will begin at 5:30 pm, followed by the musical at 6:30 pm.  To buy your tickets, please stop by the school office.  The cost is $5 child/$8 adult.  At the door: $7 child/$10 adult.  Invite your family, friends, and neighbors. This fundraiser will go towards technology.      

Hold Your Seat:  It is once again that time of year to make sure that your child has a spot for the next school year.  Please return the form and payment of $225 to be sure your child has a seat.  On May 10 the fee will increase to $250. Only $175 will be credited toward the first month’s tuition.
