Friday, September 15th - Dance Day!

Another great week here at Sutherland. We have been able to get into a bunch of classrooms and see the good work taking place. Students in 8^th grade are working hard on the cardboard arcade projects. This is an event where Hollymead students get to come over and play games that the 8^th grade students have created out of cardboard. 7^th grade students have been exploring the scientific method in science class. 6^th graders have been starting memoirs in their Language Arts classes and doing a paper airplane lab in science. There is, of course, a lot of buzz in the air today due to the first dance of the year. Needless to say, the 6^th graders seem a bit wound up as many of them will attend their first middle school dance. For those staying after for the dance, please remember to have a ride here by 6:00 PM.
Looking ahead to next week, we will hit the end of the first interim period marking 4.5 weeks of school. Gradebooks should be up to date the week thereafter so parents can see the grade status mid-way through the quarter. We also have school picture day on Wednesday of next week during the morning. Wednesday is a busy day as we also have a very cool band concert over at Burley that evening where our 8^th grade band and Burley’s 8^th grade band will do a joint concert. Last but not least, Friday is a teacher work day, so no school for students. We hope you have a terrific weekend!
