Good Evening Guardians and Students,
We have one exciting and busy week! Read carefully so you do not miss anything!
On Monday students will be performing their play titled, "Villains in the Goldfields"
- Students will perform on the outdoor stage after lunch at 12:45 to about 1:20.
- You are welcome to attend! I will provide some time for group photos.

Tuesday is - PIONEER DAY!
It's finally here! Some reminders from the previously shared presentation:
- Pioneer Day is an extended day and runs from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
- Students and volunteers will wear their pioneer costume to school. Please refer to the presentation for specifics about costumes if needed.
- Students and volunteers need to bring water, a sack lunch and wear sunscreen. Bring any sort of bag to carry their materials from stations.
- Students will report to the outdoor stage in the morning. Parents can pick up from the parking lot, or the cafeteria if you want to come a little early and join the fun!
Thursday students will be able to experience coding and will play with the neatest robot around, DASH!
