How exciting, we're going to visit JPL tomorrow!!

Tomorrow's field trip to JPL is going to be very exciting for us all. This is the first time Van Gogh will be experiencing this trip and I'm sure the students (& adults) are going to find it fascinating.  Here's the link to their website - there are some great kid friendly sites to explore.

Please remember that your child must bring a sack lunch with a drink that is in a plastic bottle - absolutely NO GLASS containers. In addition, we will be eating lunch outside in a park, make sure your child is dressed in layers - the weather these days is so unpredictable.

We will be leaving the school at 8:30 am and will return before school ends.

Now onto our regularly scheduled program of

CONGRATULATIONS!

Just want to give a huge shout out to all the students who presented their Heritage Reports yesterday.  Everyone did such an amazing job and it was truly fascinating to learn so much more about each and everyone of them.  For me, the most exciting thing I learned was that Sierra is related to Carlos Santana!!  I am now very much looking forward to the next round of reports tomorrow.
