Tomorrow, April 22nd, is Earth Day. TL-M Students will be doing a town clean-up in the streets of Turtle Lake starting at 1:30. Our route will cover most streets of Turtle Lake. Please be cautious while driving as we'll have lots of young helpers throughout the community picking up trash. Parents, feel free to send work gloves with your students if you would like.

K and PreK had a fun time collaborating on a pet fish project last week. They read the book, "Not Norman: a Gold Fish Story" about a boy who got a pet fish and even though it wasn't the pet he wanted, he learned to appreciate it. They talked about what a pet needs, made a fish craft, and each student took home their own plastic floating "pet fish."
