Students in MAC 3 are heading up a school-wide peanut butter drive from April 8-May 24 for the Interchange Food Pantry. This collection is to help ensure students across our communities have access to shelf-stable protein all summer long. Creamy peanut butter is preferred. Please consider contributing, if you're able!
Our students have completed the Forward exam and Human Growth and Development. Sometime during the week of May 6th our students will take the FastBridge screener assessment. Once we have decided when that will be, we'll let you know.
Ms. Church (music educator) and Profe Hildebrand (Spanish educator) are hosting a combined event for our students and their families on Tuesday, April 30th from 6:30-7:45. Click here to see the flyer.
This week everyone will begin planning for and drafting their Passage. Our fifth graders will only practice drafting certain parts; our sixth graders, of course, will develop their entire presentation.
For planning purposes, if you are a parent/caregiver of a sixth grader, here is the website our PTO has created for their last day of school activities. There are a few asks for you there including sharing a photo of your student as a baby/toddler and a recent photo for the slide show to be shown during the completion ceremony of the last day of school. If you'd like to volunteer, you can sign-up on the webpage as well.

The youngest student in your family should have brought the book home on Thursday. Here is the reading schedule. Each week there will be questions for students to respond to.

Above is an image of art created by our MAC 3 students. It started as a photograph of the front of Lake Bluff.
Each student received a 2x3 cm tile they then expanded to 8x9 in for their first draft. On their second draft they included all of the details and color. Once it was hung last week, they expressed individual and collective pride.
Look carefully, notice how the railings, windows, trees, and roof line all align.
Each student worked without knowing who had the tiles around them.
The nation's motto: E pluribus unum: Out of many, one is a great fit for this project!
