Could you help get a chicken coop at Seward? Zoning, City Class, and more...

 No photo description available.

We are hoping to build a chicken coop for the courtyard and I was wondered if some parents would be interested in getting involved.

  1. There are some City hoops that need to be jumped. We need to get the ok from the zoning department. Seems there have been schools that didn't take care of their chicks. Does anyone know anything about zoning?
  2. We need someone to take a class through the city. I wondered if anyone out there has taken that class and could be our liaison between the city and school or if anyone wants to take the class.
  3. We could use a chicken committee. The teachers (maybe the 5th graders) can take care of the coop and chickens during the school year, but we will need help over breaks and over the summer.
  4. I am happy to help, but I am retiring, so would want to hand it over at some point. I think we have a teacher for the committee.
Thank you!

  Dear PTA, Spring is in the air.  And so is retirement. After 28 years, it's time to say goodbye. *I remember Melissa Ericksen before she was married. (Her children are now in college.) *I remember Anna Lethert as a Seward kindergartner. (Anna now teaches E-1) *I held Noah Mammen as a new born baby. (Noah is part of the Student Support team.) I've loved this job.   When I think of the PTA through the years, my heart fills with awe.  You've all made Seward the school that it is.  Strong in community.  A gift.  From the bottom of my heart, thank you. It has been an honor. Mary D.

News from Science: Karen Utter E1 Students Learning about Air E1 is learning about Air and Weather. So far we have learned that air is a gas and is all around us. We’ve been introduced to the terms: air resistance, compressed air and air pressure. We’ve learned that air takes up space and that it is stronger than all of us when it’s in a space it can’t escape from.    E2 has started learning about Motion and Force.  We learned that a force is a push or pull and that the scientific word for creating motion is “applying a force.” We discussed speed, direction and gravity. We are doing “controlled experiments” using a pendulum with a penny as the weight or bob on the end.      -------------------------------------------------------------------------   News from Health: Jody Volk Jody Volk Kindergarten classes do small movement activities with me in the classroom.
