Happy Chinese New Year's Day! I wanted to provide you with a few updates for the coming weeks.

GREEN TEAM - If your child helps out with GREEN Team I will be having a donut meeting Tuesday, February 24 - 7:45am in my classroom. Students that are actively helping out with GREEN Team after school are invited to attend this event. THANK YOU for supporting your child in their GREEN efforts. They are AMAZING!
"The Night of the Open Door" - This year the event will also be hosted at ASU Poly Campus on Friday, February 20. There will be a lot of GREAT classes offered that evening. The hours: 5:00 - 8:30 pm.

Academic Enrichment will be Wednesday, February 25 from
3:30 - 5:00pm. Students are required to have a signed permission slip in order to attend. Permission slips are on yellow paper, and the slips are DUE Friday, February 20, 2015. We hope your child will be able to stay and participate.
Spring Picnic is Saturday, March 28th. One of the FUN traditions is the Gift Basket Auction held at the Spring Picnic. Each teacher collects donations from her student's families to fill baskets that are put up for auction. Here are the themes for Grades 5 and 6. Please consider making a single donation to your child's homeroom teacher's basket. All proceeds from the auction baskets go back to the classrooms! Think "Win Win". Thank you for your help and support.
Biggs - Gift Cards
Caro - Mexican Fiesta
Caruthers - BBQ
Converse - "Oh, the places You'll Go!
Lawrence - Italian Cuisine
Science Camp is coming up May 20-22! I will be notifying chaperones by March 13, 2015 if you have been selected to be a chaperone. A fingerprint clearance card is required. The cost for students $140 and for chaperones $110. Thank you to those who have paid in full and to those who are making payments. You are doing an AMAZING job getting your money turned in! I will be sending out forms that are required to be filled out in April. It is going to be a great camp!
Spring Break - March 16 - March 20.
Talent Show - Tryouts will be Tuesday, March 3, after school. The actual talent show will be held on March 26, 2015. I'm asking 6th graders to sing The Periodic Table of Elements for the talent show. More information to come!
AZMerit - coming at the end of March and first part of April. This will be replacing the AIMS test.
Thank you for sharing your children with us each day! They are bright, intelligent, clever, funny, kind, empathetic, honest, hard working, and chatty. Please contact any of the teachers via email if you have concerns or questions. We appreciate your generous support of your child's academic efforts.
Yours in science,
Mrs. Biggs
