Wednesday, June 11th-- 11:00 am-2:00 pm Vilas Park
In order for Thursday, June 5th to be a success, we need as many parent volunteers as possible. More parents allow for smaller groups and flexibility for everyone. If you are able, we would appreciate any help on June 5th.
In order for you to be a chaperone, you will need to be approved for Level 2 volunteering tasks which involves a background check. I recognize this can be an inconvenience, but unless we have you on our Level 2 approved list, we can not allow you to join us........ start the process by visiting the

- This week we finished up our opinion essays.
- Next week we will start Unit 3 of Module 3. We will be answering the question "How have athletes broken barriers during the historical era in which they lived?"
