Hi families,

Our class is going to the Pacific Aquarium on Thursday, March 26! Please return the signed permission slip (sent home in Friday folders) along with $14 for admission and the bus by this Thursday, March 19.

If cost is a concern, please reach out — we never want that to keep a student home. We also need two parent chaperones; reply if you can join us.

Thank you! — Mrs. Carter

Two things, folks.

First: the spring tournament is this Saturday, March 21. I still need the $25 tournament fee from about half the team — please pay through the portal by Friday so I can submit our roster.

Second: with the rain forecast, Saturday morning practice moves indoors to the Rec Center gym. Same time (9:00), bring indoor shoes. Games start at 1:00.

Go Storm. — Coach Mike

Hello families!

With pollen counts spiking this week, we are seeing more students in the health office with allergy and asthma flare-ups.

If your student uses an inhaler, please make sure they carry it or that we have one on file in the health office, along with a current authorization form. Antihistamines taken at home in the morning work better than a midday office visit.

Stay well! — Nurse Patterson
