MONDAY MEMO
4th graders Zoe, Victor, Julian, and Lily stayed warm by the fire while learning about the trout's anatomy and life cycle during Birch Buddies outdoor education time.
Greetings!

On another cold day during these challenging times, let's remember to be grateful for inspired teachers at our school and students who have enjoyed so many wonderful learning experiences like the one pictured above.

Happy Monday,
Nelia
NOTES
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
We are relying heavily on parent volunteers to get us through our weekly PCR surveillance testing and our rapid antigen test-to-stay programs. Molly Moghari (1st grader Bryn, 3rd grader Emmett, 6th grader Kellan), Ellen Moore (8th grader Macy), Ali O'Reilly (1st grader Olivia), Ben Reed (kindergartener Emily), Nicki Reimert (8th graders Camryn and Lydia), and Polly Yerkes (5th grader Lila) have been doing heroic work and it's time now to ask for some additional volunteers to lighten their load. If you could spend even one hour one week handing out swabs, writing down times and numbers, or entering data into a computer, please let Nelia know.
SKIING & SNOWBOARDING
We look forward to snowy adventures on Burke Mountain and the Dashney Trails again this Friday! Please remember to pick up x-country skiers at 3:15 and downhill skiers and riders at 3:30 this Friday. We go skiing only in part to practice hard skills, but even more to practice independence and responsibility, organization and ownership, time management, problem-solving and self-advocacy, and patient leadership.
