They made it through their first two days of school. It was funny because around 1:30 they all looked like they needed a nice long nap!:) I hope they slept amazing though because I guess going back to school tired them out! A few things to put on the calendar if your children are interested.
1) Honor Choir tryouts
Honor choir tryouts are happening 9/12 at 3pm for 4th and 5th graders. They do need parent permission to participate in the tryouts here at Eagle Cliffs. So if you both are willing, bring the permission slip ( was sent home with the kids from the music teacher) and come try out!
2) Cross Country Club!
This is the exact wording that went home on the flyer today. " For 3rd,4th and 5th graders. It starts Wednesday September 6th at 7:45am-8:10am. We will practice Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. The last practice is Tuesday October 3rd. The cross country race is Wednesday October 4th at 4:15 at Pioneer Park. Parents must take their child to the meet. The school district does not. Registration is free until September 28th after that its 10.00 ( No race day registration). Register by September 28th. Thanks for participating. Mrs. Trollope".
