Today our K/1 students are spending the day at Bald Eagle State Park. The 2nd and 3rd graders are at the Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh. And, our 7th and 8th grade kids won’t return from New Orleans until tomorrow evening. The 4th, 5th, and 6th graders who remain here have taken advantage of the day and all the empty space. They joined forces for a wonderfully wild Capture the Flag game at recess, using every inch of the building and grounds. But I think we all look forward to Monday when we’ll have everyone back in one place…until Tuesday when the 4th graders leave for DC. ‘Tis the season, I suppose.
REMINDERS:
Cook-Out: We’ll be providing lunch for the kids on Monday, so pack a snack as usual, but there’s no need to send lunch. We’ll be doing an all-school cook-out, rain or shine. (We’ll have a cook-in if necessary.)
Class Plays: We have four class plays scheduled for next week, and you’re invited to any or all:
Monday, May 17 Teacher Tim’s 4th Grade Class
Wednesday, May 19 Teacher Kelly’s 2nd/3rd Grade Class
Thursday, May 20 Teacher Lisa’s K/1 Class
Friday, May 21
All performances begin at 1:00 p.m. and will take place in the Community Room.
Graduation: All parents are invited to attend our graduation ceremony on Thursday, June 3 at 10:00 a.m. Please come and help us send off this special group of graduates with the best wishes of their entire school community. They would appreciate your presence.
Camping Trip: Your camping trip letter is probably in your mailbox today, or it will be there tomorrow. It would be great if you’d take the time to read it this weekend and then get your forms back to us next week. I apologize for the short turn-around time, but Camp Blue Diamond is requesting our head count early this year.
After School Activities: Please remember that MOST of the After School activities ended this week. There will still be one more cooking class on Friday, May 21 due to the cancellation during Fun Fair week, and there is one final Rocket Club session on Monday, May 17.
The weekend weather looks perfect. Enjoy yourselves!
