Weekly Reminders: Rooms 20 & 21
Dear Room 20 & 21 Parents,
Groundhog Day has come and gone, and we now know that spring will arrive sooner this year. By the looks of the weather, it looks like spring has already arrived! When conditions are so pleasant outside, it makes sense to take advantage of the ability to enjoy some outdoor exercise as a family. Take a walk around the neighborhood, go for a hike at one of our great regional parks or open space preserves, play a game of tennis or basketball, or just run around the backyard, if you've got one! Exercise allows the mind to function at its peak, so make sure to add exercise to your "to do" list in order to feel positive, refreshed, and motivated for the other moments in your life.

Guess What's Coming!
Yes, it is now only SEVEN weeks until Rooms 20 and 21 will perform the incredible play entitled "Geology Rocks!" If you've ever wondered if learning about rocks, minerals, fossil fuels, geologic time, and tectonic plates could be funny, then you won't want to miss our upcoming fine arts performance on Thursday, April 7th at 6:30pm in our multipurpose room at Portal. We'll be working with our students next week who want to audition for a role in the play- ask your student about the song sample they'll be singing and the short set of lines they'll memorize to prepare for their audition. Each student who auditions is guaranteed a role of some sort in the play, but which role will remain a mystery until the auditions are completed. Good luck to all who choose to audition; we know you'll do a fabulous job in whatever role you play!
