Literacy night and next field trip

Dear parents,

Just another reminder that the school’s Literacy Night is this coming Tuesday March 12th from 5:30-7 pm.

Our next field trip is Monday March 25th to the State Capitol Building and the Pioneer Museum in SLC. We will be leaving at 8:30 from North Shore parking lot. We have a tour booked at 10 am at the State Capitol. We will have lunch there (sack lunches please) and then briefly visit the Pioneer Museum nearby, before leaving SLC at 1:45 pm. Friday dress code and good shoes for walking please. Ms. Alisha will be posting a sign up on Trackitforward and I will let you know when that is done.

Thank you everybody who has volunteered to drive this year. We appreciate you all taking the time to support the children’s education. At the moment, there is just this trip and one in May to Crystal Hot Springs scheduled. There might also be a possibility of a trip to the Bear River Bird Refuge at the end of April – we shall see.

Thank you again – John

Further information about Gala baskets

Dear parents,

Here is some furtther information/clarification about the Gala baskets this year from MAPA (MMA’s parent teacher association):

MAPA talked during our meeting today about the best way to help the classes get their Gala baskets done. We decided it would probably be helpful for families for MAPA to collect money and purchase the items for the baskets. I’ve attached the link for donations and if an individual is not able to purchase with card please email MAPA and we can set up a time to get cash from you.

Thank you so much for your help and support and please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Field trip reminders for tomorrow

Dear parents,

For the field trip tomorrow, please make sure that your child is at the North Shore Parking Lot (opposite the school) no later than 8:30 am.

They should have comfortable shoes for walking and a sack lunch (there is no microwave to heat food, so no ramen noodles please). Friday dress code (smart jeans, no rips) is fine and a pencil to write.

We will be returning in time for 3 pm pick up.

Thank you!
