Two Things!

1. SUMMER OF FEAR MOVIE PERMISSION SLIPS
All students must return a signed permission slip by TOMORROW to watch Summer of Fear on Monday. The movie has a PG-13 rating due to a VERY brief scene which includes mild violence. Students who are not permitted to view the movie (and students failing to bring in a signed permission slip by tomorrow) will be given an alternative assignment.

2. ESSAY CONTEST ENTRIES DUE NEXT WEDNESDAY!
Essay Contest:Honor Heroes
The New Jersey Education Association and the Trenton Thunder professional baseball team are sponsoring a student essay contest open to all New Jersey public school students.

The topic of the contest is “My Hero Works at School.” Students are encouraged to write a short, thoughtful essay about a school employee that has had a positive impact on them. Essays should be no more than 250 words.
Three winners will be selected. Each winning student, the school employee he or she writes about, and a total of eight of their family members and friends will be guests of NJEA and the Trenton Thunder at the Wednesday, Aug. 25, 2010, Thunder home game, the annual NJEA Back-to-School game.

Each winning student and the school employee he or she writes about will participate in pre-game ceremonies and receive commemorative certificates. Participants should be available to attend the game. No substitute dates are available.

Entries must include the student’s name, home address, home phone number, school name and address, and grade level.

Bring your submission to Ms. Restaino or Ms. Berhang by Wednesday, May 26, 2010.
