They Mysterious Case of Roy G Biv: Our arts integrated unit begins tomorrow! As you know, we will spend two weeks exploring the properties of light. Our final performance will be on May 11.
We will make final casting announcements tomorrow.
The 3rd quarter Awards Assembly is also tomorrow. This means that Pod 200 will not be able to go down to the CAC until after lunch. Parents, if you were planning on volunteering tomorrow, we will have some work for you. Please come and see us at about 9:30, and we will put you to work!
Here are some additional items that we could use:
Aluminum Foil
-4 "detective like" brown overcoats ( small enough to fit a child)
Thanks to all of the 201 families for their help and support!

Good Evening Families!
We are gearing up for Thursday's Poem in Your Pocket Day. All 201 students should have their poems in hand, or, ehm, in pockets, and be prepared to recite!
Today students came home with a CAC preference sheet. Each student should mark their preferences. Students will also have the opportunity to audition for a speaking part on Thursday afternoon.
Monday is our first day in the CAC. We will begin our mornings in the pod, and will go downstairs each day at 9:15. Parents, your help will be welcome on any, or all, of these days! We will need sewers, builders, costumers, artists and extra hands all around! Look for another note tomorrow!
