Camp Foster May 5

Parents, a permission slip came home with your child for our field trip. Please fill it out and send that and the payment of $20 to school by the first week of May (note: the bottom of the slip had the amount wrong). Feel free to Venmo me the $20 instead, if that works better for you.

Notice: ISASP testing

 ISASP testing will be held the week of April 17-21. Parents, please avoid making appointments during school hours that week, if possible. 

8th Grade Dordt Research

  Eighth grade students went to Dordt library to find materials for their term papers. 



Bye Bye Brief Class Pet


 7th/8th had a baby garter snake as a class pet for a few days before it expired. Did their request to each have it at their desk the other day traumatized it, or weren't dried bugs sufficient nutrition, or did it die of a broken heart or foul play?
In poetry we recently learned about eulogies, so we wrote the following tribute to Mr. Slither. 


An Ode to Mr. Slither


With us a short time

Touched our lives

Skinny as a dime

Avoided Vern's knives

From depths of basement

Came to the light

Who is the replacement?

Died in the night

All alone?

Gave life a good fight

Shall we clone?
