Dear parents,

The Gala is coming up this weekend. If you still haven’t got any fixed plans on Saturday, why not go along! The proceeds from the Gala help the school with buying things like the crosswalk flashing lights, new PE equipment, and computers. This year we want to donate the money towards new playground equipment once the Junior High build is completed. Members of MAPA will be at the Northeast Corner of North Shore parking lot taking donations and selling Gala tickets this Wednesday and Thursday from 3-4 (drive thru style)!

This Friday is an early out, school finishes at 1 pm. Also, there is no school next Monday March 19th. Friday afternoon and Monday are being devoted to professional development for the teachers.

Spring Break is for the week of Monday April 2nd through Friday April 6th and our last field trip before this will be to the Utah Museum of Fine Art. This is a no cost field trip, but we would be reliant again on parent volunteer drivers. Please contact Alisha Coakley at eventhair@yahoo.com if you are interested in volunteering. The date has been moved to Friday March 30th.

Today we had an assembly with the Utah Opera, which was super fun and really engaged the students! Tomorrow we have the Biztown field trip for 5th graders and on Friday morning we will be making some Celtic Knots – an art project to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.

I hope you all enjoy the rest of your week and have a great weekend!

With thanks – John
