Hoping the Weather Holds for Field Trips

2/27/2018

 
​Five River trips re-scheduled for this week.

Just got back from the Riverbank Neighbors restoration site with Room 205. A beautiful, if not wintry day. 0% cloud cover. We saw 2 coyotes on the west bank, mergansers, goldeneyes and mallards. 
Tuesday we will repeat with Room 111, leaving at 8:30 a.m. and returning by 10:30 a.m.
Wednesday, February 28, 203 will try again. Join us.

On Thursday, March 1, 6th grade, Room 309, will try again to do the river tour. Leave at 9:30 a.m., back a 2:30 p.m..
Friday March 2, 305 takes the same trip. Let's cross our fingers. 

On Thursday, March 8, from 6:30 until 8:00, we have reserved the Green Wing Annex for our Waters School/Community Garden Film showing. We have some wonderful footage from before the Annex was built, and so many familiar faces, kids who have already transformed into adults. We have invited some of the original Media Lab film crew to attend. Some already have their own children! These films tell our story.
I am wondering if there is anyone in our school community who could help us with the technical parts of the showing: getting the films cued up, the computer talking to the projector, making sure the sound is clear and good. Please let me know if you have some experience and can help. 

I will be bringing aronia juice from our garden. Delicious!
​
Thanks, 
Mr. Leki
