Hope you all had a great weekend! THIS THURSDAY IS OUR SCHOOL'S SCIENCE FAIR. I am still waiting on details of the times, but your child's class project is coming along. We will also be having student demos for the family to observe and participate in. I hope that your family can make it.

This Friday evening, students will have an opportunity to attend a Forensics Night at Kalamazoo College from 4:00 to 5:30. Students in grades 6th through 8th grade from Milwood Magnet School are invited to attend. We will provide supervision after school and transportation to Kalamazoo College, but students must be picked up by their guardian by 5:30. We are truly lucky to be offered this opportunity! I know that it is a holiday weekend, but I am hopeful that many students will be able to attend. The maximum number of students able to attend is 65, so please return permission slips that went home on Friday immediately.

We finished Chemistry on Friday with the Chemistry Assessment. Next week we will finish up our science fair projects and then finish up Reproductive Health. The year really is going by quickly! Have a great week!
