There will be an ice cream social following the elementary operetta, " The Good News Cruise" on Thursday, April 23.  There will be a freewill offering.  Proceeds will benefit our "author fund" and will help us to finance the cost of the authors that we invite each year.

Field Trip to the Robotics Championship Competition
Friday, April 24, the fourth grade will travel to the St. Louis Convention Center and Edward Jones Dome to observe the world robotics competition.  We will meet and learn from competitors from many places.  This is an amazing, eye-opening, experience.  In order to optimize this day, we need many adults who are willing to guide small groups around the convention center.  Please consider helping with this trip.  Let your child's teacher know as soon as possible.

We will leave shortly after 8:30 a.m., spend the morning exploring and meeting students from around the world and hearing their stories of problem solving.  We will eat our lunch at a park and then return for the robotic competitions.  It is all SO impressive.
