Team Meetings Week of Jan 24-29

Hello!

We will meet on THURSDAY, 27th, at 2:50-4:15 in Mrs. Owens' room. Please send a snack with your child.

FRIDAY, the 28th, we will meet at Robyn's house to get the creative JUICES flowing!
The kids should bring any any crafty supplies and $3-$4 for pizza.

Supplies we might need are listed on the right side bar. As we get further along in our skit planning, the kids will tell me what they want to use for creating costumes, backdrop, props, and our "technical spectacle" which we have yet to tackle.

Thanks!!

We are "To D.I. for"

This team name was created and voted on by our 7 team members. They came up with lots of team names and this one took the cake! It has the initials most commonly used in Destination Imagination, D.I., in it; it shows creative use of the double meaning of "D.I." and "die" as in "to die for" meaning, in this case, "the team is to die for, it's so fun...or it's so creative," etc.

Our seven team members are as follows:
Nick Buckwalter
Parker Hill
Weston Thompson
Rachel Hopkins
Maddy Walters
Alexis Hruby
Jesse Owens

All fourth graders, all at Sendera Ranch Elementary.
