Busy January!

Great work so far on all of your Science Jam projects Division 1!  You are working very hard and things are starting to come together.  Make sure you follow your calendar and are keeping up with where you should be so far.  Science Jam is just over a month away and we are only going to get busier, so keep up the hard work!

Basketball teams are set and both the Boys and Girls teams are getting better every day.  I love how eager everyone is at practice, and how you are all trying your best and helping each other improve your skills.  Remember, there is no "I" in TEAM!

Don't forget to get outside and play, especially when the sun is out!
