Freedom Essay winner

Congratulations to Emily Wysocki!  She is the winner of Sertoma's freedom essay contest.  All 5th Grade students wrote an essay with the topic "What Freedom Means to Me".  Emily has won a $50.00 savings bond and will be honored at a luncheon at Camp Sertoma on April 14th.  Her essay will be entered in competition with other east district schools.

Conferences

Thanks to all the parents who attended conferences on Wedesday.  Let me know if you have further questions or concerns.  I always enjoy talking to my students' parents.  It answers a lot of questions.

BizTown Trip

We had a great trip to Junior Achievement's BizTown on Tuesday.  Each student had to work at their assigned job, manage their checkbook, and follow the schedule for lunch and shopping breaks.  They were given a look at the 'real world' of business for the day.

Thanks to Mrs. Moorman, Mrs. Newkirk, and Mrs. Cummins for giving up a whole day to accompany the 4th and 5th Grades to BizTown.  We appreciate your generosity.

BizTown trip

Just a reminder: all students and adult volunteers will need to bring a lunch to BizTown on Monday.  Drinks are provided. Adult volunteers need to be at the Junior Achievement Building, located at 7400 N Keystone, by 8:00 am.
Students should wear their school uniforms.
The bus will leave Holy Spirit around 8:30 am.

BizTown permission slips

Many students have not turned in their permission slip and $25.00 for BizTown.  Both are due tomorrow.
If the fee is a problem, please let me know. Help is available.
