We had an unexpected slow down during a usually hectic time. Hope you all were able to get some rest and get winter gear in order. We have a coupe of busy weeks ahead with a concert, Spelling Bee and Science Fair. It is always great to see the students participate in these events.
Drugs, Sex and Cell Phones - Elementary Edition. On Thursday, Nov. 14th @ Mountain @ 6 p.m.
Super informative and intersting event. Hope you can make time to attend.

Science Fair Judges Needed
Hi friends!
Mountain will be holding the School Science Fair on Thursday November 21st in the Library from 3-5. We are looking for any adults, teachers, including EAs who are willing to judge the projects. Judging will begin at 3pm or whenever the judges can make it. It will conclude after the projects have all been judged at least once. The judging will include filling out a rubric and feedback for each board you are asked to judge and interviewing the 6th grade students. Please let me know if you or anyone that you know would be able to join our judging team by filling out this Google Form.

Welcome New Staff
We are thrilled to have hired Kristi Schulz as our new ELA teacher in sixth grade. She comes with much experience with ELA and MS. She will be formally starting on Nov. 18. More information about Kristi will be coming.
We are so grateful to Erin Cook for filling in and wish her all the best! We will miss her.
We also welcome to our Mountain Family, Zoe Robles. Her son went to Mountain. She has a PHd in Italian Literature and is a poet. She will join us as a part time EA for grades 2-3. Welcome to them both!
