 Welcome to
Miss Schumacher's
class website!  

..6th Sponsor info - I am missing forms from several students, please turn in the forms from the parent packet to the office, or send them with your child to me and I will take them to the office. Crossing gaurd forms were handed out on parent night and are due ASAP (the time will count towards Bible service hours). Please remember that all medication must be brought to the OFFICE by the Parent or Gaurdian in the original container, NOT the student. I am looking forward to a great year, and welcome any questions you may have. =)

 Science

  
 

6th through 8th science students,

Start thinking about what science fair project you want to do this year. Students will be expected to apply the APA formatting they learned last year to any research. We will continue to build on that foundation this year.
