Student Showcase Day
Wednesday, May 30, 2012


All Towers Families are invited to share in celebrating their Student’s Academic Achievement. Share an afternoon dedicated to your child’s academic success!


Lunch will be on the lawn that day from 12:15-1pm. After lunch, once the students are settled into their classrooms, a bell will ring and from 1:10-dismissal, parents are invited to join their student in their classroom to share their portfolio of work from the year. In addition, please share the Adventures in Art displays in Room 12, our school garden, and our computer lab with your child acting as tour guide.


Smoothies will be available during lunch for $3 with proceeds going directly to our school. Towers t-shirts and scrip will also be available for purchase.


Parking will be difficult, please walk if you live close and carpool if possible. The back gate will be open at 1:00. You may enter there or through the front of the school. (Please be respectful to our neighbors and do not block driveways.)


If you would like to take your child home before dismissal, you may sign your child out at his or her classroom.

 


Crafty Thinker Club

 

Kids:  Are you good at solving problems?  Or do you want to practice and get better?  Come join like-minded 4th and 5th graders every Friday after school for one hour in room 8 starting this Friday, April 27th.

 

Parents:  This is a free afterschool class where we focus on cooperation and positive criticism.  This is not childcare! Students will work in small teams to solve a variety of problems.  This is not for the child who would rather work alone.  The class will run through the end or the school year.  There is a $10 materials fee. You are welcome to stick around and watch or help.

 

My name is Trisha Minahan.  I am a Towers parent and teach at South High School.  Email me with questions tminahan@etusd.org.  Space is limited.
