NIght of the Notables

Dear Sixth Grade Families,

Tomorrow is the big day! Everyone is very excited and ready to show you all that they have learned. Students should bring any outstanding pieces tomorrow morning so we can set up in the afternoon.

Tomorrow night students are expected to be on campus at 6:00 in costume.Students should report to their classroom teacher for set up instructions. At that time parents are welcome to make their way downstairs to the 4th grade Oregon History Wax Museum.

At 6:30 we will open the hallways for friends and family to begin the questioning. Inside the lunch sack, which you will receive on your way in, will be a program. This program will contain the name of all 75 notable figures. Your job is to ask each person 3 questions that can be answered with yes or no. For example, you could ask "Do you work in the sciences?"  Once you have asked your 3 questions, write down the number found on the notable figure next to their name in your program. How many can you guess in 45 minutes? At 7:15, the notable figures will leave their seats and make their way to the gym, library, or cafeteria. There they will stand with their boards, allowing you to learn all about each notable figure. You'll have another 45 minutes to visit each person at their board, collect souvenirs, and admire all the hard work represented. All students are expected to stay until 8:00. At 8:00, students will return their chair to their classroom, help clear the room they presented in, and head for home.
