6th Grade Outdoor Education Week
Each year, the 6th grade students at MME are treated to the Walker Creek Outdoor Education experience. In this week-long science-based outdoor school, the students get an opportunity to learn about their natural world within a hands-on setting and they get to experience many wonderful moments with their 6th grade peers. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience where students get to stay in a cabin for 4 nights, hike, dance, and interact with other 6th grade students from our district.
This school year, the 6th grade students from MME will be attending Walker Creek Outdoor School from November 28, 2016 through December 2, 2016. The PTA supports this special activity by supplementing a portion of the costs not covered by the district in order to remove some of the barriers of attendance that some of our families face.
Science Expo
MME PTA is proud to host the 4th Annual Marguerite Montgomery Science Expo on Friday, May 5, 2017. Our goal for the Science Expo is to promote and recognize science in everyday life and to highlight science-related careers. Like in previous years, many of the activities and exhibits incorporate aspects of the district and state science standards, particularly with respect to experiential and hands-on learning to our students in K – 6th grades. Many of these activities will be led by UC Davis and Sacramento City College students.
*If you are interested in setting up an exhibit or participating in an exhibit, please contact Mitch Singer at mhsinger2124@gmail.com and we can help you with your idea and find some like-minded parents to help you set up and run your exhibit.
Sincerely,
Mitch Singer, Professor UCDavis, Microbiology and Molecular Genetics
