Awards Assemblies! 🏆
First off, so sorry for the incorrect assembly times in last week’s e-folder. 😕 Even though we try our hardest, we don’t always get it right. There was a time switch we weren’t aware of and we apologize for not catching it sooner. This week we should be spot on though.
3rd-5th Grade Awards are this Friday, Jan 20th, in the Cafeteria
- 3rd grade 8:00
- 4th grade 8:50
- 5th grade 9:40
Thursday, Jan. 19th is Science Fair! 🔬
All are welcome to come and view the work of our Thunderbird scientists!
- Public Viewing 5:30-6:00pm
- Awards 6:00pm
- Clean-up 6:15-6:30pm (Help is always welcome with clean-up)
Students wishing to participate in the science fair should bring projects to school on the 19th and take them to their classroom. (Don’t forget to check the requirement handouts for details on what to include in your display and what is prohibited.) Each grade level will have a designated time in the morning for setting up projects in the cafeteria. Once everything is set up, students will have the opportunity to view the Science Fair with their classes. Judging will take place in the afternoon (Science Fair is closed to viewing during judging.) Families are welcome to view the projects during public viewing in the evening.
It’s Box Tops time!
Gather all those Box tops you’ve been saving and bring them to your teacher by next Friday 1/27! The school earns 10 cents for every Box top it collects! See attached flyer for more information.
📸 Class Photos are next Tuesday, 1/24.

?? Coffee Chat- Jan 27th, 8am
Our January Coffee Chat will include a discussion about the recent state school ratings and what it means for THES. As always, there will also be an opportunity for general Q & A with the principal. Coffee Chats are a great place to meet other parents and get a feel for what’s going on at the school- we hope to see you there!
