Thursday's special speaker
On Thursday afternoon the fifth and sixth graders will be able to hear a Belmond policeman speak about stranger danger.  Please ask your kids to talk to you about it tomorrow night!

Other speakers
If you know of someone, or if you yourself have a job that you think would be interesting to a fifth grader and would like to come and speak, please let us know. We would also like to invite anyone with a special talent or hobby to come and speak to the kids.  We like to have contact with our community and with our limited field trip budget, we are trying to build in some learning events here in our hometown.
