We need to have a couple of people volunteer to decorate our door for the week of March 2nd, which is Dr. Seuss’s birthday.  The door may be as creative as you please, with appeal to the kids and those around them.  The kids will be the ones voting for their favorite and it will win the Door Decorating Contest!  If you are interested, please let me know!

Our Field Trip was Awesome!

Our field trips was a huge success! The play at the children’s theater was very entertaining and educational–everyone loved it! We even did a question and answer session with the actors after. 

At the capitol building we ate lunch and then talk with the Attorney General. He talked to us about internet safety. In his office is a charcoal and pencil portrait of Abraham Lincoln that a mother from one of our Quest 3rd graders did! 

Thank you all so much for your support, especially those parents who came and helped us at the field trip.  Pictures will follow shortly!
