This is a reminder that our annual Science Day at Eagle Creek is scheduled for tomorrow. We are on for now, but the weather could change that. We will let you know if anything changes. Students in 3-8 may be out of uniform. They may wear clothes that are creek appropriate, but also school appropriate. No short shorts, nothing skin tight, no tank tops or sleeveless shirts. Students should also bring a beach towel and an appropriate change of clothes for when they get back. A change in shoes, and a bag to keep everything in, is also a good idea.

7th Grade Parents: Tomorrow (Friday, March 25th), 7th-grade students will be working on a diorama project in class. Earlier this week, I asked students to bring in any necessary materials for this project. Would you please remind them of this? The project is due on Monday, and I want them to have adequate time to complete it.

Huge thanks to Davana Smith for donating chips for our students' lunches to go with their pizza tomorrow!

This Friday's cheese pizza for our students' lunch has been sponsored by SMS parent Beverly Lipps! No student will be charged for pizza this Friday. If any student does not want cheese pizza they should pack their lunch. All students should bring their own drink or use their water bottles. Thank you Beverly!
