The Grade 4 and 5 students had a great time on their overnight trips to Thies and Lac Rose - thanks to those of you who volunteered, and the teachers for coordinating the visits. Our big event this week is Earth Day - more below....

Notes:

1. Earth Day: We will have our 3rd Earth Day Celebration on Wednesday April 22! The two main things for you to know are that on Wednesday: 

 - STUDENTS COME TO SCHOOL DRESSED IN GREEN

- SEND IN A WASTE-FREE LUNCH Here is a link to a website (shady will also do a waste-free lunch that day).

Read on for more....

LET'S MAKE ISD A GREENER SCHOOL!!

The idea of Wednesday's waste-free lunch is to have a day when we produce no garbage. Please send your child's lunch in a reusable container, and there should be no disposable wrapping inside at all. That is the goal - nothing that will be thrown away. 

Here is a link to a website that might give some ideas for the waste free lunch. Shady will also be sending over only reusable materials with the food for his lunches on Tuesday, too.

One additional thing we are doing this week is cleaning up the area behind the Pre-K rooms to make a new garden space!

...and here we are prepping the garden!:
