Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day Weekend! It's nice to have that third day off. Hopefully we'll have great weather all weekend! Progress Reports went home on Friday and should be returned on Tuesday with a parent signature for a homework assignment. There will be no late work this marking period so REMEMBER to bring it back.

Next week, we will be returning to the Reproductive Health Curriculum. The kids seemed to like the work with Sustainable Systems that we did, but they are really motivated to be in Reproductive Health, imagine that.

There are also lots of different activities happening at Milwood and field trips coming To the best of my memory, here is the list:

May 29th - Speaker for Repo. Health and Last day of Homework Hub

June 5th - All work should be turned in.
June 10th - Farewell Awards Ceremony from 6:00 to 7:00. Students must report by 5:45 or
