11/23/2009 Dear Parents, Our field trip to the Nature and Science Museum was a hit! The students had a wonderful time! They learned about Native Americans, and saw dinosaurs, birds, and the space odyssey. They also explored the many hands-on experiences in the discovery zone. Take advantage of your 5 by 5 passes and check it out! Thank You to Carrie (Eve’s Mon) for helping to chaperone the trip! On Tuesday Nov. 24, 2009 the students will be participating in a “Turkey Trot” at 1:30pm and walking around Montclair with the rest of the school. After the walk they will attend a Pep Rally at 3:00pm in the Gymnasium to meet and cheer on the Montclair basketball team: Go Cougars!!! **REMINDER: NO SCHOOL FOR ALL DPS STUDENTS: WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 25- FRIDAY NOV 27, 2009: Thanksgiving Break:** In your mailboxes I included some “fun” Thanksgiving homework for your children to complete over break and bring back to school **on** Monday Nov. 30, 2009. **Reminder: We will be taking a field trip to the Denver Children’s Museum on Wednesday December 2, 2009 with the Palmer ECE classes.** We will leave Montclair at 9:15am and leave the museum at 1:30pm.
