I certainly hope you all had a wonderful spring break, because you will need to be well-rested for all the upcoming events in May.  Academically, both CTP4 testing (for grades 1-8) and Mastery testing (for grades 1-6) will take place during the month of May.  Fourth graders begin the month with a spelling bee, 5^th graders present their annual State Fair, kindergartners visit the Hermit Crab Lab, and first graders are visitors to the Secret Garden. 

There are still more events to put on your calendars.  Our Student Services department is providing two Parent Nights Out.  Our staff will provide a "camp" experience for your students and feed them pizza while you enjoy a Friday evening or two on your own.  Our DSL and JH athletes and cheerleaders will be honored at the annual Edgewood Sports Banquet.  Our fourth grade street hockey team is competing at the Ducks Street Hockey Shootout at the Honda Center.

Sixth grade pentathletes will be competing against other Orange County schools at the annual competition.  Drama students from the eighth grade will be performing in the musical play "Annie" for three nights in May.

Kindergarten through fifth grade will be performing at our spring Concert in the Park.  Do not miss this event!  We will have chairs ready, but feel free to bring your own or bring a picnic blanket and enjoy the musical talents of our elementary students.

Seven Promethean boards and document cameras have been installed in classrooms.  If you have not seen them in use, ask a teacher for a demonstration.  They are completely interactive and engaging.  Training is ongoing for teachers, and we hope to have many more installed at the beginning of the next school year.

With only six weeks of school remaining for the 08-09 school year, encourage your students to keep up the good work and finish strong!
