Hi Parents, Well, April will be a bit quieter, but then in May we have lots planned! There are a few important items I wanted to share with you: First, next Tuesday, April 12, is our school informational night. From 6 to 8 PM beginning in the cafeteria there will be lots of information to be shared about Bromley and Middle School; in particular FIFTH grade! I have discussed this with your children and strongly encourage all kids to attend this important meeting. I told the kids to come ready to learn lots about Middle School and FIFTH grade! After the meeting they can go upstairs with their parents or guardians and visit Middle School, meet the teachers, and ask any questions they or you may have! Also on April 12 and 13 there will be a Scholastic Book Fair at the school. The hours of the fair are on a flyer that is in this week's Friday folder. Also I am sending home a flyer from Toys R Us. This is the new store on Highway 7 and I-25. I am very proud of this new Toys R Us and Babies are Us because my husband, Andy, is the General Manager. The Grand Opening is April 8 - 15 and I knew if you are going to go check out this new state-of-the-art store like I am this weekend you would love to be able to save $5.00 on a purchase. Next, I am sending home with your children the last and final project of the year! Yipee! It is a sheet for kids to go over with you and decide what they would like to become experts about pertaining to Colorado History. Maybe it is the Native Americans that have lived here for a very long time, trappers, miners, or maybe one person in particular. Please help your child decide on the project topic (similar to how we did this during Middle Ages Unit), sign it, and return on Monday. I will then copy the project criteria and send it home by next Wednesday. This project is due April 26. One last thing: I am in need of empty, not torn up, cereal boxes - 23 to be exact - for a project that we will do in-class on the last 2 weeks of school. Please feel free to send them whenever you may have them. Have a super month, Jan
