Thursday night was the last PTA meeting of the year, and my last meeting as co-president. I want to thank you all for a great 2 years. We’ve had a busy and big transition year, and yet we pulled off a lot of great things, raised money and gave support to the school despite our temporary setting.
What an exhilarating week for the Stoddert Wolves and their teachers. Stoddert is assessed for Autonomy School status, and construction on the new school is still on schedule. Don’t forget to get your registrations in soon.
Stoddert held its 2010 Science Fair on Tuesday, May 11 for 3rd- through 5th-graders. Students recorded and displayed the results of their experimentation and were judged by parent volunteers. Three students from the top five placements will present at the DC City-Wide Science Fair.
One of Stoddert’s most popular events!
