Mr. Palmer wants parents to know about rollerblading in gym class:  Students MUST WEAR SOCKS to use the skates provided by the school district.  If your student has his/her own equipment, they may bring it to school and use it.  Knee pads and helmets are provided for students who don't have them; knee pads and helmuts are required during rollerblading.

The Sacajawea PTA Spring Auction was a rousing success!  So many parents, family members, staff and "friends of Sacajawea" attended, gave generously and had a wonderful time in the bargain!

Thanks to the PTA Auction Committee--this group of tireless volunteers has insured that our school will be able to maintain our current level of student services for next school year.

Calling all singers, dancers, comedians, magicians, musicians, circus performers, poets, fencers, animal trainers, actors--the sky's the limit!  Are you a Sacajawea student or adult who would like to share your talent at the Arts Festival?

You are invited to perform on the Garden Stage!  Acts should be five minutes long.  To sign up, contact Sacajawea parent Linda Wilson, or sign up on the list posted outside the School Office.
