^{Science Fair Congratulations}

^{We had 91% of our class that participated in the science fair.  All of the projects were exceptional and we appreciate the time and effort put forth by our students and parents in making the science fair and the projects worthwhile.  I am glad so many participated because this may be one of the last times some of our students participate in an event such as this.  We also want to extend our congratulations to James Anderson who finished first overall in the 5th grade competition and Camrynn Clark who finished third.  The following students received honorable mention, Saydee Sherratt, Rachel Lee, Baylor Nehrenz, Samantha Price, Kylee Shugart, Kenna Andreason.}

^{End of Level Testing}

^{We have been doing our End of Level Testing in the computer lab.  The tests have been quite extensive compared to what we have been used to in the past.  We began our writing tests last Wednesday.  Our students were in the lab for about 3 hours and most of them are half way finished.  We hope to finish the rest of the writing today.  In about 10 days we will begin the language arts portion of the test.  Then science and math will follow after we complete the language arts.  I appreciate how hard the kids have been working. This has been a new experience for all of us.}
