Eager Eagle for 5/15

Parent Input Forms

If you would like to give input on your child’s placement for next year, forms will be available in the office beginning Thursday. You may stop by to pick one up if you would like. The forms are due back by May 22nd. We will also have them available during Open House.
Open House/Science Fair

Our Open House and Science Fair is scheduled on Thursday, May 15th. Both events will begin at 6:30 and go until 8:00 p.m. This is a fun event where our students show off the work they have done all year long. Also, our library will have a Book Sale for one night only! If you can volunteer to help, please let Ms. McElfish know. I look forward to seeing you tonight!

Lost & Found

I can not believe how many jackets, coats and sweat shirts we have in our Lost and Found. The articles of clothing are of great quality and I am sure are expensive. If you are missing something, please come by and take a peek either during Open House or on Friday.

Congratulations!

Our chess club members, Daniel and Samuel He won the co-championship of 3rd graders at the 2008 Washington State Elementary Chess Tournament that took place in Kirkland. Albert Li, also from Franklin won the co-championship for 1st graders.

Volunteer Tea

In a few days, you will be receiving an invitation from your child’s teacher inviting you to attend our Volunteer Tea. Parents that helped in the classroom, library, supervised field trips, worked at the Book Fair, playground, health room, monitored runners, helped in PE, and the list goes on and on……..are invited to attend, Thursday, June 5th at 9:15 a.m. in our Commons.
