Congrats to Ethan Scott, Jadelyn Siewell, and Chase Sonnen for presenting their essays at the 2012 DARE Graduation! Stay tuned for information about DARE Day.

CPE fifth graders are off to OMSI, the State Capitol, and the Oregon Zoo this Thursday. Each eligible student has a packet of information describing the trip and identifying what to bring. Also included in the packet is a medical release form. Students are required to have this turned-in by Wednesday to attend the trip. Despite the trip, the fifth graders still have homework to do Tuesday night including studying for Wednesday’s vocab exam (access to the list can be found in last week’s post) and Book Club reading, the assignment for which appears on their Assignment Calendar. Students will have a Book Club quiz on Wednesday.

Fourth graders can look forward to next year’s 5th grade trip. In the meantime, they have the usual homework items. Here’s the homework for math class: Tuesday, April 24; Wednesday, April 25; Thursday, April 26.

Finally, don’t forget about Scenic Middle School’s presentation of The Wizard of Oz this Thursday through Saturday at the Crater Performing Arts Center. Evening shows begin at 7 and there’s also a 2 p.m. matinee on Saturday. Tickets run $7.50 for adults and $5 for students and seniors. The Thursday show is a “pay what you can” night. It’s sure to be an incredible show so don’t miss it!
