Going Green and Volunteering!

Wow!! The Earth Day Assembly today was awesome! MCC joined us and performed yet another rap. Ms. Kelly was recognized for her energy conservation efforts by the district. We are now an energy star school!! We have saved over $15,000 dollars in our energy bills just this year! Skits and songs were performed teaching us new ways to recycle at school. We are focussing on using only one paper towel to dry our hands and only using one pump of soap or hand sanitizer. Our class is still working hard to come up with a new plan for the styrofoam plates used in the lunchroom and we want to get plastic milk containers as well. We really want to be a model school for going green. Go team Bitterroot!!

This Saturday is the Volunteer Opportunity for April. We will be pairing up with MCC once again at Lake Elmo. We have done this for three years now and it is always one of my favorite functions. We help in all sorts of ways to get the park ready for the new season. Information and permission forms will come home tomorrow. The function will be form 9-12. Lunch will be served at the end!!! Come one, come all!

Our last NWEA test is tomorrow. We will be testing our Math skills. Testing begins at 10:15 and goes up till lunch time. Then we are DONE!! Please make sure students are here and on time tomorrow. Make up testing requires kids to leave their regular classes and miss important lessons for over an hour. Thanks!

Have a super night!
