Dear Families, March 14, 2025
Students are deep into finishing and then displaying their learnings for the Science Fair. They have designed and created three prototypes for their experiment with Force and Motion. The Science Fair is set for this Thursday, March 20th evening. Please put this on your calendar! Your child will be assigned a time to be at their display as well as evaluate other classes projects.
Monday, March 17th, students can dress in green and white for St. Patrick’s Day. However, we will also be going to Mt. Baker Theater rain or shine to see a play about Dragons and Other Mythical Creatures! Chaperones have been sent instructions for it. If you signed up for chaperoning, please look for that email.
Assumption Church has asked ACS students to lead the church’s Stations of the Cross in the evening. Kathy Ernst asked me to organize it. I would love to have my students volunteer for it. It is on Friday, March 28th 5:45-6:45 with a rehearsal on Tuesday, March 25th right after school. Here is the link for the sign up.
We have many weekends ahead that are open for sign ups for a weekend with Pebbles. Sign up here SignUpGenius.
Blessings,
Paula A. Martin-Zender

Spanish – ESPAÑOL, 4th -They learned how to answer 2 questions: Qué hora es? (What time is it?) and A qué hora realizas diferentes actividades después de la escuela (What time do you do after school activities).
