**RAFFLE: Tomorrow is the last day to bring in donations for the Alternative Transportation Raffle Basket!!! Please put your donations in the envelope or box in Whitney's room, or contact Leigh Ann if you prefer (leighannkennedy (at) yahoo.com).

For the art and architecture unit, the students will divide up into groups with the three 1-2 teachers. Beth's class is going to do painting, Brian's is doing stained glass, and Whitney is doing the ancient wonders, including sketching them. This will be a two week block in the afternoons on Tuesday and Thursday. The students got a chance to request which one they wanted to do, but not everyone could have their first choice. We will find out today what group each person will be in.

March 19th is the last day for yearbook cover submissions (they extended the deadline for one more week).

Next week is spirit week.

After spirit week is SPRING BREAK!! We have TWO weeks of spring break.

The marble jar is almost full, and we might hold off on our special day until March 19 which is Gigi's birthday and the last day before Spring Break.

Tomorrow is jump rope and chess club after school. If your child is planning to attend, please contact Whitney either in person or send an e-mail (whitney (at) trilliumcharterschool.org) and let him know. You can pick your child up at 4:30 or come and attend the club with them!

The diabetes testing kit is still missing (Luna's sister Meadow lost it). It is a small black case like a camera case, or even smaller. If you see it, please get it back to the desk ASAP!!
