9_May

//**Monday, May 9**// I hope that you had a happy Mother's Day! I enjoyed spending it at a cook-out with one of my daughter's classmates and her family and friends.

This week, we are proud to congratulate two of our students on placing nationally in the **Dare to Dream** competition. Sydney Rivas earned third place and won a Science educational software library. Davion Ross won first place win, one of only 12 nationally, and won two computers -- one for the school and one for the classroom -- with a library of Math and Language Arts educational games. He also won a $5,000 college scholarship!

Notices for this year's competition will come home and are due back on Thursday, May 12th...they'll be collected on the 13th. Please consider entering the school competition so that our classroom can win software, but also think about working on a special project for the individual competition. It might be a fun activity for the summer.


 * SRI Testing** will happen for the 2nd and 3rd year students. (It was postponed from last week.)
