DISCOVERY GOES GREEN-
Thank
you for all of you who have participated in green activities during April.

the most material for the Recycling Drive.
They will celebrate with the Environmental Science students by having an
"earthly" snack on Tuesday.
-Also, a large thank you goes out to all the families
that sponsored plants for the Greening Our Campus activity. The students had lots of fun getting dirty,
using their "green thumbs" in planting. We planted 65 plants and more are to come in
the next few weeks. Our campus is
definitely looking greener!

SPRING GENERAL
ASSEMBLY
– The General Assembly of parents will
be held on Saturday, May 17, beginning at 9:00 a.m. in the Cafeteria. We are
required to have a quorum of one-third of our parents present in order for the
meeting to be considered legal and for any decisions made at the General
Assembly to be binding. We have 325 parents listed as members of the school
association, so we need to have at least 108 parents in attendance
(although only one parent per family can vote, both parents can be counted for
quorum). We need for YOU to attend! Your ideas and your votes are important for
the school. The school will provide supervision and activities for children
during the General Assembly (from 9:00 - 11:00 a.m.) Dr. Jay Ketterer,
Discovery School’s new Head of School will be present at the Assembly.
