Iron Chef was AWESOME

Our amazing class came in third at the Iron Chef competition today -- second if you want to be technical since Jan's and Karen's classes tied for first! Our class really came together and created a wonderful pea shoot dish. Thank you to all of the parents who came in to help! We really appreciated it! 

There's only one week left and it's going to be a busy one! Permission slips were sent home for our trip to Salmon Springs next Thursday. Those need to be signed and returned. Money for the Move-A-Thon needs to be in by Monday and Middle School yearbooks are still for sale for $22 and we will be going to the park on Friday to sign them.  And let's not forget 8th grade promotion on Thursday at 6 p.m. and a dance on Friday from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Iron Chef

Exciting things will be happening at school tomorrow!  We are going to be preparing our submission to the Iron Chef competition. Our featured ingredient is pea shoots.  In addition to a pea shoot salad, we are pushing our culinary skills by baking a crisp flatbread cracker, homemade ricotta cheese, and a pea shooter mocktail.  If you are available Thursday between 10:30-12:30 or Friday from 11:30 on...we would love some more parent help!  Managing all these wonderful chefs is an iron challenge within itself :)

We are also going to be doing an initial locker clean-out tomorrow.  If you student takes the bus/walk/bikes to school -- it would be nice to discuss a time with your student that they might have some support of transporting excess items home.  We should know tomorrow what our loads are going to look like!

Permission slips were sent home for our trip to Salmon Springs next Thursday. Those need to be signed and returned soon. Thanks!
