American Bandstand!



Experience Music Project

What a day! A special thank you to Mr. O'Reilly, Mrs. McFarland, and Mrs. Foos for braving the extended day. It was worth every minute!









Oregon Culinary Institute Field Trip

I can not thank Mr. Moutos enough for helping us set up this field trip. The food was incredible and the etiquette lesson priceless. I would highly encourage families to take their own trip to OCI for lunch or dinner!

Field Trips and Performances

This week we have 4 very exciting events.

1st up is our trip to the Oregon Culinary Institute. We will be learning formal dining etiquette and enjoying a wonderful lunch. Attire for the day is formal. That means slacks, button up shirt, and tie or dressy skirt and blouse. Skirts must reach the knees and tights or pantyhose are appropriate. No bare shoulders please! Students obviously do not need to bring a lunch, but if possible a few dollars for a tip would be great. I have Mrs. Moutos, Mrs. McFarland, Mrs. Marshall, Mrs. Foos, and Mrs. Dodson down chaperoning this trip. If you said you were coming and I missed you, please let me know! Chaperones should arrive at 11:15 in formal attire. We will return to school no later than 2.

Our 2nd event of the week is Thursday's field trip. This one is to the Oregon Ballet Theater. Uniform of the day will be your dressiest uniform. I have Mrs. Marshall and Mrs. Foos down as chaperones. If you would like to attend, or already told me you'd like to attend and I misplaced the email, please let me know! We will leave school at 11 and return by 1:30.

Our 3rd event of the week is also on Thursday! Thursday at 2:30 is our version of American Bandstand. Meet us in the cafeteria for some great music from the 50's. Students have been practice dances, filmed news reports for some of the biggest events of the 50's, and there will be live performances from Elvis, The Tokens, and others! Parents are encouraged to dress up and be ready to dance. Even if you don't dance, you'll definitely want your camera. It's going to be fantastic.

Last but not least is our field trip to the Experience Music Project on Friday. Mr. Littledyke will be joining us to ensure we get everything possible out of our trip. All students will need to be at school in uniform at 6:45 AM. Yes really. Everyone will need to bring a hearty lunch and two hearty snacks. We will return to school at 7:00 PM. I have Mrs. Moutos, Mrs. Foos, and Mr. O'Reilly down as chaperones, which means I still have room for 4 more. Please let me know if you're crazy enough to join us. I promise it will be great.

50's Timeline Poster Project

This coming Thursday, the timeline posters are due. Each student was given a major event from the 50's and is to create a poster about that specific event. The poster must be 12" x 12" and should include the date, at least one picture, and the basic facts.
