In French Science elective, Lena Lecorgne and her students went to the Nat last September to learn more about Maya civilization : architecture, food, agriculture, astronomy, etc. They will work on that theme until mid November.

The goal is to get the ball to cross the finish line with at least three energy transfers or transformations.

Joshua Tree Return Time

The group is slightly delayed and should be back at school at 5:00 p.m.

7th Grade Pali Return Time

As per Mr. Jarlov’s email earlier this week, please be reminded that the departure time from Pali was moved up slightly, to allow for better traffic flow and a more convenient pick up time for parents. The impact on program was minor, and the students will eat lunch on the bus rather than at Pali. We heard from Mme Denis at 12:10 that they are en route, so they should arrive by 3:15, if there are no traffic issues.

Last Morning in Joshua Tree!  Pancakes, tent take down and geocaching!
