2019 Science Fair!
Guardians, Parents, and Families of RC,
Friday, January 25, RC will host the 15th Annual Science Fair. During the school day, students will not be attending PE/Encore/Band classes. Students will be participating in project judging, Science talks, games and more. Parents and family members may not come to see projects during the school day. That evening, families and friends can come to school and see the projects from 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm.
For school on the 25th, students need to:
- Wear nice clothes – nicer than what they typically wear to school
- Bring a lunch and a snack
- Bring a water bottle
- Bring a good book that they can read in between judging
- Have display items present to show the judges their experimental set up
Details for the evening:
- Where: Timberland Middle School 650 NW 118th Ave Portland, OR 97229
- Time: 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
- What: Student projects are displayed, food is available for purchase in the cafeteria – cash only, students discuss their projects, community celebration to end Science Fair.
- Parking: There will not be enough parking in the two lots at Timberland. Please reserve those parking lots for people who need a closer parking spot. We have set up a bus shuttle from Cedar Mill Bible Church to Timberland. The shuttle will run back and forth. Please plan to park at the Church and ride the shuttle to Timberland. The building has several steps, but we have access to an elevator if needed.

We look forward to celebrating all of the hard work of both our students and our volunteers on the 25th. Hope to see you there!

Garbage Collected in the Timberland Area
Last week, RC students spent time out in the community immediately around Timberland cleaning up garbage. Through their efforts, the photo below shows what was removed from the environment.
Students: Never doubt the impact you have on your community!

Thank you, RC Families.
This is an 8th grade action project bringing awareness and help to families fighting breast cancer.
I cannot thank you all enough – my heart is swollen. Thank you for fostering these amazing kids, enriching their lives, and helping them to be even better human beings. Rachel Carson students spread a lot of joy and support yesterday and were the top 6th fundraising team out of 136

Families!
This year the option calendar is earlier than in years past. To find specific information about an option you are interested in, go to https://www.beaverton.k12.or.us/depts/tchlrn/Pages/LearningOptions.aspx.
At Rachel Carson, we are having our Open Houses at Five Oaks since we will be back in the building next year. Our dates are November 6th and 15th, from 6:30 – 8:00PM. The goal of these meetings are to introduce you to our team, see the building, and learn about our program so families can make an informed choice for their child.
If you are interested in shadowing for your 5th grader, please see the tab on our website labeled ‘2018-19 Application Process’ for contact information. If you have other questions feel free to email or call Lisa Thomasson at 503-356-2616, or Lisa_Thomasson@beaverton.k12.or.us.
