The Middle School Informer

                 

klaw@students.csm.edu

Volume I  Apr/May '03

Projects Coming Up

     The students need to be working hard on their Newspaper Quests due  the end of April. They are able to obtain newspapers at school and can take them home whenever they want.  I am asking the parents to please glance over their child's work and become familiar with what they are doing.

This year the students have the privilege of attending the Annual Renaissance Fair in Minneapolis, MN on May 14th.  Before the trip, all of the 6th graders will need to pick a topic on the Renaissance and write a 3 page report about that topic.  It can be about anything: people, life, sports as long as it pertains to the Renaissance.
