Making an Impact Project

Our 5th graders recently began their "Making an Impact Project". Students pick an organization to support and work to connect with these organizations to find out how they can give back. Here is a link to one example of a project with a letter from Brooke, Natalie, and Kyla of a project. They chose the Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) organization. Here is a link to the BBBS wish list if you'd like to support them. Their teachers and I are so proud of their efforts, and you should be, too!

Career Day volunteers needed for April 24th

Merton Intermediate School will be hosting a half day career event on Friday, April 24, 2020. The event will take place between 8:30 - 11:30 at Merton Intermediate School. 5th through 8th grade students will participate in the event. We are seeking professionals to participate in either of the following options that day:

Speaking to students during 25 minute sessions about your career and highlighting the opportunities of your career field or company
Conducting Mock-Interviews with 6th - 8th grade students using provided questions.

We are hoping to give students an opportunity to explore a wide variety of career fields, so please consider sharing your time and expertise with our students!

If you are interested in participating in either capacity, please take a moment to fill out the interest form which can be accessed at this link: https://forms.gle/YmvrZuDMddQNahpc8

Illnesses and trips

I know that this is the fourth week in a row that I've had this story in our smore, but it seems that the number of students home sick has increased, so here it is again.

We have gotten into the season of illnesses and trips. When your child is absent for either reason, please remind your child to check Skyward or Google Classroom for any learning they might be able to do while they aren't at school. The learning at school will continue! Our teachers will give time to complete assignments and to take assessments once they return, but if your child can work to keep up with the learning while they are absent, that would be great!
