Heifer International Project Update

April 25, 2007 ahines Leave a comment

Wow!  All together, students in 6C raised $2006 to help families in developing countries.  Next week, each class will select which animals it wants to donate to those families.  Get out those catalogs and start thinking…

 The students did an amazing job.  Parents, thank you for all your help and support!  :)

Rice University Field Trip

March 29, 2007 ahines Leave a comment

Attention Parents!

We are planning a field trip for 6C to Rice University on Friday April 13th.  We are in need of about 5 parent volunteers to help us chaperone.  We will meet at school at 8:30 am, and return by 2:30 pm.  As the timeline for this trip is so short, we need parents who have ALREADY been approved by HISD’s background check.  Please contact Ms. Hines if you are able to help.  Thanks!  :)
