Science Family Night
Thursday, December 18, promises to be an exciting day at the 405! At 5:30 PM, our Glee Club will inaugurate our Family Science Night with a delightful holiday concert and sing along. Kindergarten and1st Grade will perform Jingle Bells, 2nd and 3rd Grades will perform Elfie Selfie. All of our grades will sing Feliz Navidad together--we encourage everyone to attend this interactive show!
Following the concert, PAWS will provide hot chocolate and sweet treats in our cafeteria. Families will have the opportunity to visit classrooms and engage in enjoyable, hands-on science activities.
To prepare our students for this engaging Science Night, PAWS will host two science-themed assemblies during the school day on Thursday, presented by The Science Zone. Our K-2 grades will participate in the assembly at 9:00 AM, and our grades 3-5 will attend at 10:00 AM. This assembly is made possible through our media center, funded by proceeds from our recent Scholastic Book Fair and the upcoming FUN Services Holiday Shop. PAWS appreciates the support of all who participated in these events, as the profits directly benefit all of our City Park Panthers!
