Science Fair Boards

Please check out the information below about the upcoming Science Fair.  This a completely voluntary event.

Dear Families,

We are excited to share with you information regarding this year's Mohr Science Fair!  The Science Fair is on March 14th and we are looking forward to this annual event here at Mohr.  Next Tuesday, February 14th, we will be selling the Science Fair proboards that students use to display their experiments.  We have always done this (Thanks to PTA) as a courtesy and convenience to our future scientists.  The boards are sold at cost and are a lower price than buying them at the store.  Each board sells for $3.50.  We will sell the boards until they are gone. Next Tuesday your child can purchase a board after school in the library. We will be selling them at 1:55 for the morning readers who are dismissed earlier.  All other students can buy their boards at 2:50.  Checks can be made out to PTA.  

We are looking forward to another successful Science Fair.  If you have any questions you can email Mrs. Stanford (lstanford@pleasantonusd.net) or 

Susmita Patniak (susmita_patnaik@yahoo.com).

Thank you!

Weekly News: Week 22

This week we finished reading "Blood on the River" which is a historical fiction novel about the founding of Jamestown. It was quite an interesting read about how the first successful English colony came to be! We also had our January pay day and auction!

For art we created beautiful stained glass hearts. Check them out on our Twitter page!

Of course, the thing everyone's eagerly anticipating... Outdoor Ed! We leave bright and early on Monday!


A few logistics for Monday:

• Please have your student at the flag pole in the front of the school by 7:45am. We hope to leave by 8:00am.
• Students should be responsible for their luggage, sleeping bag, backpack, and water bottle.
• Students need a bag lunch for Monday. No other food is necessary.
• Their backpack should contain their lunch, water bottle, hat, and jacket. Everything else should be packed.
• Remember... no devices! 
• Weather report... cloudy and rainy. Make sure your student packs a rain jacket (no umbrellas), and plenty of layers. We are out on the coast where it is much windier.

I will be posting pictures of our trip to our class Twitter page (which automatically adds it to our website!)... keep an eye out for our adventures!

On Wednesday we should be returning around 3:00pm. I will update Mrs. Wolfinger of our arrival, so please call the office if you want a updated time.
