Hello Parents and Guardians,
We are gearing up for Biztown this week as we will attend the first Monday we come back from Spring Break, March 22nd.

Please fill out the Biztown form and turn in to any sixth grade teacher.
We would like to request that you google AIMS pretests for sixth grade to have your students practice over the break and prepare for AIMS testing in April.
Ms. Lyn also requested that students read their books for book reports that are due March 29th.
We hope everyone has a very good week off, enjoy Spring Break and Happy St. Patrick's Day.
