We have a very busy Saturday –chock full of activities in order that we end on time. I will start promptly by 8:45 AM. You can come in any time after 8:00 AM.

 

ü  One of the Lockheed Martin program folks, very excited by the program, wants to take pictures of all of you. This will be only for LM internal use—just to show how great you all are!! If someone DOES NOT WANT TO BE PHOTOGRAPHED, please LET US KNOW SATURDAY MORNING!!

ü  ALL PARENTS are requested to Attend-there are Moms and dads I have not seen all year-would love to AT LEAST ONCE –PLEASE COME

3.      Brief presentation by Dr.TANGIRALA (6 minutes) –on a field trip of a real-time ambient air quality monitoring station in DC on a warm day in Spring/Summer.

·        If someone else has a projector-please bring so that we can have 2 kids going at the same time-since we are time constrained.

·        These kids will be awarded their certificates.

5.      Parent’s day and registration for next year info (3 minutes!)

6.      Repeat info about form 1260, who cannot present at NIST, NEED for badges etc.

Folks

 

General Info:

·        Please complete the forms for Parent’s day

·        Please pay Danielle for the AIS party

 

 

We have a WONDERFUL treat for you all this week.  Given that baseball is going to start will use some game terms!!

 

We have Four (4) teachers for you-each of them is guaranteed to hit a home run.

 

Please make them proud by bringing all your kids and spouses. I know I have not seen a few parents all year because their kids come with others. I have not seen a LARGE NUMBER of Spouses because they have not felt the NEED to come. But PLEASE this Saturday and next I would like all of you here.

 

Topics are:

1.      Cleanliness (!!)-How to make soap

2.      Are you weather ready-Many of us were caught by surprise when the snow arrived –Learn From an expert and a delightful speaker

3.      Learning the Language of Music-From an expert Musician-Many of the children and are Musical minded-this is a treat for all

4.      The Digestive System-From a Doctor –She is a great teacher-universally liked –and will tell you how much “pizza’ to eat next week AND what happens if you eat more!!

 

As usual, please come early to get a good choice

Teachers will interact with a smaller group-More excitement

Teachers-if you have presentations-please bring it on an USB-preferably.

 

Can’t wait for tomorrow-See you all
