Dear 8th Grade Parents /Guardians,
The Eighth grade class will be taking a field trip to John Martin on Wednesday February 14th @ 8:15 am returning back to school by 10:00 am. The eighth grade science class is learning about Biodiversity and habitats. We thought it would be great to see some of our local biodiversity. Please sign this permission slip for your child to attend the field trip.

HECTOR of the Week
Staff -Mrs. Katie Lockhart is the pick for Hector of the week. She is every part of Hector in and out of the classroom! She is engaged in each student's work and always is checking in with everybody. She is positive in her teaching and I am super happy she’s part of our team.
