"Class of 2012" 6th Grade T-Shirt

Hello 6th Grade Parents/Guardians!

Mrs. Yee and Mrs. Andrews are wondering if any one knows someone who can make a "Class of 2012" t-shirt for the 6th graders. The shirts are just going to be for the kids to have as a memento and not as a fund raiser. If you know of anyone who may be able to do this for the kids please contact Mrs. Yee or Mrs. Andrews.

Thank you.

Shakey's Pizza Parlor Night Results

Good news! We made $199.06 from the fundraiser event on February 17, 2012 at Shakey's Pizza Parlor.

The money will be used for diminishing the balance due on the buses for the Blue Sky Meadow Outdoor Science School.

Day Four at Science School

Day four's breakfast consisted of scrambled eggs, potatoes, and biscuits.
For Lunch they had bagels and cream cheese, a fruit, and trail mix.
For dinner they had pizza, a salad bar, and cake.

Today was the "Big Hike". The Naturalists had the students lay down on the meadow, about 20 feet away from each other. They were to enjoy the surroundings, listen to sounds, and try to figure out what was making the sounds. They were asked to write a poem while in the meadow.

When they finished and were off hiking again, one group found fresh mountain lion tracks. The students got very excited and called every one else to come over to take a look.

Another group found a coyote skull with some flesh still on the mouth area. The Naturalists believe it had been killed by a mountain lion.

As they hiked along, they came to some steep and icy terrain. They had to climb over logs. Mr. Adams climbed up first to help his group get up to higher ground. When he finished helping the kids, he slipped and fell. When he fell his palm hit a rock and was cut. He was taken back to Big Bear and had received nine stitches on the cut hand. Mrs. Yee said he is doing fine and was just focused on helping the kids. -Thank you Mr. Adams!-

One group hiked and reached the 9000 feet elevation.

Mrs. Yee mentioned that yesterday, during the small hike, one group saw a bear in the distance and quickly, but quietly, walked away.

Mrs. Yee did not call until well past 8:00 p. m. today because they were busy with their skit presentations.

Tomorrow, after breakfast, there will be a short hike before the students pack up for home. They will be given a bagged/sacked lunch to take with them to the bus.

The bus should pick them up by 11 a.m. and should be back at Delevan by 2 p.m. .

Well, I guess this is all folks, it's been fun reporting.

Have a good evening.
