Thursday is the big day! We will be heading downtown for our Urban Challenge. Students have done some simple challenges with their teams and will continue to plan for this event all day Tuesday and Wednesday during school hours. We are really impressed with all of our sharks! Please be sure that, on Thursday, your student is wearing tennis shoes, a tie-dye red shark shirt (shirts will be handed out Wednesday), and is ready for any weather that my pop up. Some teams will choose to bring a sack lunch. Other teams will be bringing money to purchase lunch along the way. Students will also have the opportunity to purchase ice cream during the day. This promises to be a really fun learning experience and we are sure we will have lots of stories to tell!
Tuesday through Friday of next week, students will primarily focus on Urban Challenge activities. They will still have their Encore classes (music, world language, art, Lit Skills) and a few students will have math and English. This is a great time to use study halls for catching up on missing work and doing retakes because there will be very little new work assigned.
