8TH GRADE BREAKFAST

Over the past several years, the eighth grade teachers and students have enjoyed a traditional year-end breakfast. This year, breakfast will be from 8-10 on Thursday, May 22 in the EMS Cafetorium. We would LOVE to have parents and family join us as well!!

In order to facilitate this, we divided the class up into groups based on last name. Below you will see what we are requesting you to contribute in order to continue this

tradition. We ask that you bring enough of your dish to serve about 10-15 people.

Please make sure that your food is fully cooked and ready

to serve!!

C-F Drinks

G-K Egg dishes

L-P Breakfast meats

Q-T Carbohydrates (pancakes, French toast, butter braids, etc.)

SAVE OUR POLLINATORS

THE BEES’ NEEDS STUDY

Did you know that Colorado has more than 900 species of native bees and

over 550 right here in the Front Range? Yes, we do need our Colorado

bees, they assist in pollinating our plants. Without them our plants would

be unable to produce fruits and vegetables. The Bees’ Needs is a study di-

rected by the CU Museum of Natural History to learn more about how our

communities can support bees.

Ms. Gillis's 7th

Grade Science classes will be installing two bee houses on

the school storage building on the north end of the football field. One of

the bee houses has a cut-away side panel where you can observe the wood-

nesting, solitary, native bees. Did you know that bees build nests in tun-

nels to protect their young? Don’t worry, the bees are gentle and won’t

sting. Learn more at http://beesneeds.colorado.edu.

NEEDED – Volunteers to observe the bee houses every other week from June through September. Volunteers will make observations of the activity/nesting in the bee houses, collect data, take photographs, and go to the Bees’ Needs web-site to log the data. This would be a great family activity! You also may be able to get a bee house for your home. Check out the participation section on the

website for more information.

If you are interested in volunteering to collect data from the EMS bee hous-

es or have any questions, contact Beth Gillig at gillig_beth@svvsd.org .

Please give the dates you would be available to make observations if you

are interesting in volunteering.

Thank you for supporting our Colorado pollinators!
