I emailed the parents of students whose dues have not yet been paid on Wednesday, September 17th. As of that time, about 50 families were overdue. Please pay DUES if you have not ASAP or your child will not be issued his/her shirt.

THANK YOU IMMENSELY TO THE 140+ FAMILIES WHO'VE ALREADY PAID!

Please be reminded of ALL the WAYS dues are used (see below). THANK YOU!

• Students should bring a sack lunch and a small AM and PM snack.
• Students should bring more than one bottle of water. Iced bottled water will also be supplied at the park.
• Students should wear the GTA7 t-shirt.
• Students should wear comfortable tennis shoes or walking shoes (no sandals or slides).
• Students must otherwise dress in accordance with FBISD dress code.
• Students do NOT need to bring large backpacks or their computers.
• Students should bring a string backpack and a clipboard or something thin but firm on which to write.
• Usage of digital devices will NOT be allowed on the buses or on the field experience.

Please plan ahead and please plan accordingly.

It will be hot when we go, so we'd like to ice down a cooler of water on each of the buses. The sign up genius below is to volunteer to drop off a case of water or to lend us a cooler. Water and coolers can be dropped off any time before the field trip.

We hope to get:

• 8 cases (40 packs) of water.
• 3 coolers (coolers will be returned!)

If you are able to donate or lend us the above, please sign up at the Sign Up Genius below.

In this club, professionals from Baker-Hughes and Microsoft lead sessions on various aspects of STEM and STEM careers. This year the club will meet on TUESDAYS from 4:30-5:20 pm on the following dates: 10/6, 10/20, 11/3, 11/17, 12/1, 1/19, 2/2, 2/16, 3/2, 3/16, 4/6, 4/13, 4/27, and 5/TBD.

This club is open to ANY student at QVMS. However, only 15 students per grade level can be admitted into the club. If there are more than 15 students per grade level who are interested in joining this club, a RANDOM digital sort will be used to determine which 15 students are accepted for that grade level.

The Baker Hughes STEM Coaching Club will be sponsored this year by Ms. Momin and meet in her room (room 318). THANK YOU, MS. MOMIN!
