Book orders

I sent home book orders today for those who want them. There are 3 different forms. You can order from one, two, or all three and still write just one check, made out to "Scholastic Book Clubs."
Or you can send the exact amount of cash in an envelope with the order and the child's name on it.
Book orders are due Friday, Sept. 23. Mrs. Johnson is doing this, so ask her if you have any questions.

Good Friday

Greetings!

I forgot to mention to the students that they are welcome to bring a lunch to school tomorrow. We dismiss at 11:55 and they will have a brief study time before that at which they could eat their lunch.

God's blessings!

Camp Phillip

Dear Parents,

There will be 9 students per adult chaperon in each cabin. The cabins have flush toilets and bunk beds. We plan on leaving at 8:30 and should arrive around 11:00. There will be a brief orientation before our sack lunch. After lunch we will prepare for the ropes course. The 5/6^th grades will be doing the low ropes course and the 7/8^th will be doing the high ropes. If they choose not to climb they will be there to encourage others and observe. We will also participate in outdoor games such as Pall Ball and disc golf. After dinner there will be geo caching and Bible study, campfire, sing a long and bedtime (10:00). In the morning after breakfast we will clean the cabins and have time for a game or two before packing up and returning to St. Jacobi. Camp Phillip asks that no electronics be brought along (except for a camera). The chaperones will have phones in case you need to reach us. I am asking chaperones to car pool if possible to carry bedding, luggage and our sack lunches. If you are willing to drive please let me know so I can help with the car pool list. If you have any other questions please contact me at school (425-2040) or home (427-6153)

Our goals for camp are to develop a stronger faith, encourage cooperation and teamwork and enjoy Gods creation. We look forward to a great trip.

T-shirts and Garbage Cans

The students in grades 5-8 will be performing a musical/drama extravaganza. The costuming for most students will be rather simple. They will need to wear nice jeans, no holes or tears, as well as a T-shirt. The T-shirt should be the color of their Kickball Kickoff/Track & Field team color. The T-shirt should be a solid color with no printing on it. If your child needs one, JoAnne Fabrics has colored T-shirts for around $5. Students should have their T-shirts at school on Monday, April 11th.

Also, one of the acts needs 7 clean metal garbage cans. They will be hit with drumsticks. Are you willing to donate or loan us one(or more)?

Thank you for your help and cooperation,

Mr. Frisque & Mrs. Prekop

Sing in Church

Don't forget that 5th grade is scheduled to sing this Sunday, March 20, at 8:15. It is not necessary to meet in the classroom before hand. Just be in your seat in the balcony no later than 8:10.

Luther Prep Field Trip

Just a quick note . . .

The fifth grade will be traveling to Luther Prep in Watertown, WI to take part in Phoenix for a day. We will leave school at 9:30 and return after 3:15. Lunch will be provided at Luther Prep. If you are a chaperon please bring $2.00 for lunch.

Thanks!

Science fair info

Because the students in grades 3-5 are doing their science fair projects for the first time at home, and because there seemed to be a lot of questions last year about the social studies fair, the teachers of grades 3-5 will be hosting an hour of science fair questions and answers. This event will be held in the MPR on Thursday, February 17 from 7-8. Parents are encouraged to attend with their students. This is a sample of the type of questions that will be answered:

Do I need a backdrop?
Do I need a report?
When should I start?
Where can I get ideas?
How much help should a parent give?

And any other questions YOU may think of. There will be a brief presentation by the teachers followed by questions from parents and students. There will also be sample science fair projects for you to look at. If you do not have many questions, you need not stay for the whole hour. See you then!
