Fun Fair, Camping, Graduation and Special 4th graders!

Mary and I were in the 4th grade classroom this morning observing a teaching candidate and I was proud of the way our students welcomed him into the class and school. They wore name tags and were respectful of the new teacher. During the lesson, the students were eager to share and became very interested in the activities that were presented. In the end, we all learned a great deal. Hats off to the 4th grade students for their kindness.

Reminders

First things first. It ‘s time for the Fun Fair! - Need we say more? Wonderful weather is on tap and so are sprinklers for the kids. Please come out and enjoy yourself and our special Friends community tomorrow, May 1, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thanks to all of you who have helped already in so many ways.

Camping Trip – The annual all-school camping trip is scheduled for May 27 and 28. Please look for the letter from Mary with all the details soon.

Graduation – We’ll be graduating a very special 8th grade class this year and we invite all of you to join us as we say good-bye. Graduation ceremonies will be held on Thursday, June 3 at 10:00 a.m. All Friends School students will attend and all parents are encouraged to come, too.

May School Lunches – Due to the large number of field trips that are occurring on Fridays in May, we will have to do some juggling of the school lunch schedule. Please consult your teacher’s classroom newsletter for details.

See you at the Fun Fair!
