May / June, 2012

Students worked very hard during testing time and are continuing to be productive learners and active participants. The FGWS Miners have been Safe, Responsible, and Respectful- We are proud of our students.

This is a beautiful and busy time of the year and students will have a few field trips during this last full month of school. Students are working in the garden, writing and reading, keeping active, and doing lots of math. They will also be exploring their local environment and watershed. There will be numerous garden and watershed trips, as well as research and publishing to accompany it :) 

Some of the adult events this month will include the Parent's Club BINGO/Cinco de Mayo Fundraiser Night (May 4), the School Site Council meeting (May 7), School Board Meeting (May 14), Open House (May 21), Memorial Day (May 28), and then graduation (June 7) and other end of the year activities. School's last day is June 8th, which will be Karate Finals, the Whiskeytown Lake BBQ, and it's a minimum day.

Best wishes for healthy, happy days,

Mr. Heims
