As you may be aware, 8th grade graduation is Tuesday, May 26th.  As tradition goes, the 6th grade class donates the soda for the 8th grade graduation dance.  A note was sent home, but we have only received 2 bottles of soda.  Your donation of one 2 liter soda bottle can be brought to Mrs. Tyler's room.  Please bring them in no later than Monday, May 18th.   The 6th grade is of course welcome to attend the graduation, but they do not attend the graduation dance.  This dance is for 7th, 8th, and 9th (alumni) only.  Even though, 6th graders do not attend, we help out by providing the soda.  They will get to attend the dance the following 3 years.  Please do your part to make this a great event for our graduates.
