Student of the Month
Students achieving student of the month for January and February were: John Holman and Tatyana McBee

LEARNING JOURNEYS
**Parents it is important that you know that only students who are able to control and be responsible for their behavior at school will be allowed to attend learning journeys. It is our thought that if a student has trouble with their behavior in a school setting they are not ready for the learning journey experience.

BIZTown- We will need 14 volunteers for this learning journey. Volunteer information will be sent home next week.






I wrote and recieved a Target Teach field trip grant. We will be taking the students to the Oklahoma Aquarium in May.



Upcoming learning journeys include: Langston 5th Grade Day (May 1); Tulsa Technology (April 24); Tulsa Air and Space Museum (March 6)Pin It now!
