Homeschool seniors are invited to attend the Law Day Program at the Courthouse on Tuesday, May 1st. This program aimed at high school seniors will acquaint them with the judicial system. Please call the Court Administrator at 728-3530 to sign up.

It's that time of year again...time to schedule your evaluations!

If you plan on using Mrs. Madigan, the school district's evaluator, call Sugar Grove Elementary School at 489-7851 to schedule your appointment with her. Also remember that physicals are required in 6th and 11th grades, dentals are required in 3rd and 7th grades and testing in 3rd, 5th and 8th.

PENNSYLVANIA WOODMOBILE

WHO: Attention all 3rd Graders

(and 2nd and 4th who have never attended before)

WHEN: Tuesday, May 1st...Be there by 8:40 am

WHAT: It is that time of the year for the WOODMOBILE!

WHERE: The Fairgrounds

This is a very worthwhile program put on by School-to-Work program and the Allegheny Hardwood Utilization Group (AHUG). This is for all 3rd graders (and we can let 2nd and 4th graders who have never attended this event before if this year works out better - for example - you have a 4th and 2nd grader it is easier to go just once as opposed to taking each individually.) It would be better if you can get a baby sitter for younger siblings.

Homeschoolers are scheduled to attend the morning session. You may drive to the 3rd driveway and pull in by the buildings to park. Plan to stay for the provided lunch - hamburgs/hot dogs at 11:30-12.

Please RSVP to Nan Chapman by April 17th at thebigpfamily@verizon.net or 723-7367. Questions - feel free to call Nan.

Here is a previous write up in the paper, that will give you a better idea what to expect:
