Mrs. Clark’s Class Supply List I BUY ALL THE SUPPLIES AND HAVE THEM READY FOR THE KIDS THE FIRST DAY 😉

I know how busy this time of year is and I want to help make it easier. I am asking for a $30 donation to cover each student’s supplies. This way I can get all the supplies purchased and labeled before students come back to school.

You can pay at Q1 during Back to School Night or online here: ONLINE PAYMENTS marking “other” and typing Clark’s Supplies. If you would rather purchase the same items yourself, please send me an email prior to school beginning. 

Additionally, students will need to bring the following items:
Headphones/earbuds-labeled with their name. Guardians will be responsible to replace broken/damaged headphones/earbuds throughout the year.
Pencil Box–1 standard size pencil box, must be able to hold 3-4 pencils, one box of colored pencils, one glue sticks, 2-3 pens, 1-2 highlighters, etc.
Small bag if needed-A bag large enough to bring a cell phone or personal items they need at school. NO large backpacks are to be brought. We are a technology school, so we rarely send any papers home. ONLY lunch bags are needed if they are bringing a lunch from home. A back pack can be brought to transfer library books home once a week.
Water bottle-Student may bring a small water bottle that they can have with them throughout the day.

Lanyards are optional, I will provide them with a shirt clip. NOTE: they cannot have the kind of lanyard that has an elastic pull feature.

I will purchased the following items for your child with the class donation:

• Colored pencils (24 pack) and additional art supplies

Quest Under the Stars: Destination MARS: 

Friday, May 19th

5:00-7:00pm

In the Q2 Gym

Your students and their families will have a chance to talk to an astronaut one-on-one, ask questions, and get a picture taken with him. This will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many of your students.

• Ask questions of a real astronaut
• Get a picture taken
• Learn about his mission to repair the hubble space telescope

Play Your Way to Mars

There will also be lots of fun games to play as you pretend to journey to Mars.

• Astronaut training challenges.
• Feel how much you would weigh on Mars.
• Build a Mars habitat.
• Go on a space walk in a spacesuit and use radios to communicate with mission control.
• Find signs of life on Mars.
• Eat some astronaut food and put together an astronaut menu.
• Even test your luck surviving an asteroid impact.

Beat the astronaut!

The astronaut will be playing all these games too, so this is your chance to see how well you can score against a real astronaut. Can you beat him? Could you be the next astronaut to go to space?

This is a COMMUNITY EVENT so feel free to invite your friends and neighbors. 

Thank you for all your support and help in making Quest the BEST!
