A light breakfast will be served, a certificate of participation, a journal and pen will be given to each student participating.

- Needed: For our last social studies unit the kids will be working with regional maps of the United States, Colorado, and Africa. By this time in the school year their colored pencils are either non-existent, missing colors, or in pretty sad shape. It would be great if you could re-supply your student with a fresh set of 16 colored pencils, a working hand-held pencil sharpener, and pencil eraser caps.
1. Students are asked to reuse and create something from trash! Our current science ecosystem discussions have keyed on creating less waste for our environment. Students are challenged to turn trash to treasure and design something different from trash. A few picture examples are given below. Each treasure should be no more then 8 x 8. These treasures will be displayed in the library once completed and turned in on Friday, April 13th.
Examples from Mrs. Myer's daughter, Molly:
2. Students need to come up with three notable people from history and be prepared to submit these names on Monday. Students must be sure that there are books and internet resources availiable to them on each person. The list of three will be narrowed down to one.
