Hello Parents,

I hope all mothers had a great day with their children honoring them for Mother’s Day today. Thank you to all the parents that came out Thursday to support students at the Bear Creek Track and Field event. It was a shame that the weather was so bad we had to leave early. Despite the severe rain, our students rose to the occasion and performed really well. Maybe God was building perseverance in us. On Tuesday, we will be going up to the High school to participate in a Science 11 lab on electricity. Should be a great time!

• Math – Measuring mass, temperature and volume
