� Wordly Wise Test � Due to ERB testing, we cannot have our Wordly Wise test on the usual Wednesday.  In discussing the schedule with the class, we have come up with two options: 1) March 19 (Th) � Students who want to get the test �out of the way� may take it this week.  2) March 27 (F) � Since we are now in school on the 27th for a snow make-up day, students who would prefer more time to prepare for the test may take it then.  After ERB testing, we will return to our usual two-week rotation with a spelling test on April 1 and a Wordly Wise test on April 8.

� March Assembly � This Friday, we will perform our Lower School musical Bugz! at the school assembly.  The assembly will begin promptly at 2:15 PM, but you can arrive early for a good seat.  Parents may sit right in front in the Lower School section.
