Reminder!
Taconic Hills Elementary School will be hosting a “Learning Fair” for any interested students in Kindergarten thru Sixth grade. A Learning Fair is a way for children to explore something they really want to learn about. We encourage all students to do a project on a topic that interests them!
All projects must be brought to school on the morning of May 18th. They will be displayed during the week in the elementary library. We will also have an evening event where parents and community members may view the projects, participate in activities and fill up on some ice cream. This event will be on Tuesday, May 19th from 4:30PM -6:30PM. All students will receive a participation ribbon!

• Many move 6–10 times before graduating high school
