We made it to the last week!

This week students will be presenting their independent research projects.  The projects I’ve already seen have surpassed my expectations.  The kids really enjoyed researching more about a topic that interested them and finding a way to share that information with their peers.

Important Dates:

• Tuesday – Field Day at BMS
  • Please remember that students will be spending all day outside on Tuesday.  Sunscreen will be their friend!
  • Please also remember that 4th grade boys should wear a blue shirt, while the 4th grade girls should wear a yellow shirt.  This will greatly assist in keeping track of all students.
  • Students must wear tennis shoes the entire day.
  • Students need to bring a sack lunch to school, unless you have already ordered a lunch for your child.
  • Buses will be leaving Alward at 8:50am.  Please ensure your child is at school, on time, so that they do not get left behind.
• Wednesday – Egg Drop
  • We will be doing our egg drop at 10:30am on Wednesday.  Please be sure your child brings their vehicle with them to school as there will be no late projects accepted.  If they want to bring it to school early, that is fine.  Just remember…no eggs should be brought to school with students (we will provide them).
• Friday – Alward Olympics
  • Students will be participating in the Alward Olympics with their Alward Teams on Friday.  Due to construction and space restrictions, we are not able to have family visitors this year.  Again, students should come to school wearing their tennis shoes, and ready for a fun-filled final day of school.
  • Please also remember that it will also be an early release day, with students being dismissed at 12:15.  Sack lunches to bring home will be the only lunch option on the last day of school.

Thank you every one for a wonderful first year at Alward!  I couldn’t have asked for a better group of students or parents to work with.  You have truly made this year one to remember!
