MONTH OF THE MILITARY CHILDBREAKFAST - Friday, 4/25April is the Month of the Military Child, and we're excited to celebrate our amazing "Penguin" students who are part of military families! We are working hard to recognize and honor these special students throughout the month. You may have noticed their names displayed on the front railings and their pictures in the main lobby hallway. We will also present our military-connected students with a special certificate and host a breakfast at the end of the month. These students will be honored and participate in both our April Whole School Morning Meetings. There is also a world map located in the lobby hallway where ALL penguins can put a sticker on the places they have lived. Get a sticker from the front office so we can see “Where Our Penguins Waddled From!”

"MATILDA" at Twain MSApril 24 - 26Matilda is a story about a young girl named Matilda Wormwood, who has an incredible intellect and magic powers, including the ability to levitate objects. She is a lover of books and can read stories meant for adults by the age of four. Her clear intelligence goes unnoticed by her uncaring family, who often treat her badly. Eventually, her insensitive parents send her to a school run by Miss Trunchbull, a cruel authoritarian that loathes children. Matilda befriends her school teacher, Miss Honey.

We are looking for volunteers who would be willing to work all day from start to finish and if that doesn’t work for you, we are also looking for those who would be willing to work either the K-2 field day in the morning or the 3-6 field day slot in the afternoon. We are also in need of quite a few items for this year. I am looking for car sponges, dish sponges, a TON of water ballons, popsicles, and some extra yoga/exercise balls. The shirts are in the process of being finalized and when they are ready will be available to be ordered. We are looking to make this Field Day our biggest one yet! Thank you, Mr. Harris - PE teacher
