~Many students will have their projects we made during our China unit (dragons, pandas, lanterns) on display at the Panda Express in Darien. Hopefully, you can stop in sometime in the next week or two and see their work as a restaurant decoration. Please let an employee know that your child is the artist, because they usually do a little something special for them.
~Students from Project Challenge have started a fundraiser for the ASPCA, a foundation to stop animal cruelty. The kids will be selling Smencils® (scented pencils) for a 1.00 each. The pencils will be sold each morning in the grade level areas. The sales will start Friday April 30th and go through May 28th.
We will track our sales on the bulletin board by the multi-purpose room. For every twenty dollars we raise, one food bowl will go up on the bulletin board. So please help save our animals. Buy Smencils.
