Schedule for the Culminating Theme Event, Thursday May 23

            Our final theme event will take place this Thursday from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.  Students and teachers have worked diligently to present for you all the learning that has taken place with the theme, From Printing Press to Paperless.  Below is the schedule for the event, and we ask that you help us make the timing run smoothly:

12:30 – 1:00    Parents and Guests arrive to read student-made newspapers and find seating

1:00                 The program will start promptly with a welcome from students

1:05 – 2:15      Skits and presentations (the skits are great, but it’s a long time to sit – bring a pillow for your chair?)

2:20 – 2:25      The state of our presentation area – Jill Goodman

2:30 – 2:50      Breakout groups (7th and 8th grade students will lead discussion groups in 11 different classrooms.  Please be sure to follow the directions on your program for room assignment.  Seating is limited)
