It is a tradition for many families to enjoy lunch out on this day or for families to bring a picnic to enjoy together at school. All students will have a lunch break from 11:30 to 1:00 on Thursday. If you are planning on taking your child out to lunch, please check out with me before leaving campus. If your child will be going to lunch with another family, I will need written permission from you before I can allow another parent to sign your child out for lunch. If your child is staying here, there will be lunch and recess coverage as usual.
Weather right now is looking hot so please be sure students come prepared with athletic/weather appropriate attire and shoes, a water bottle, a healthy snack, sunscreen, and an optional hat.
Continuation: Our 5th Grade Continuation ceremony is right around the corner. Families are invited to attend the ceremony at 9:00, Wednesday, May 23rd, in the gym. Students will come to class at the regular time that morning so we can say our goodbyes and make any last preparations for the ceremony. Parents should make their way to the gym and not the classrooms after the bell rings.
After the ceremony we invite you to join us in the courtyard outside for a small reception. When you are done with hugs and pictures, students are dismissed for the day and do not need to return on that final half day of school Thursday. They are done!
To help our continuation reception run smoothly, we are looking for donations of paper goods, cups, cookies, and beverage supplies. Please click the sign up link below if you would be willing to donate something for the reception.
Additionally, we are looking for a parent or two who would be willing to compile pictures into a digital slide presentation of some kind. If you are willing to take this project on, 5th grade teachers will see that photos of students from all 3 classes are forwarded to you. You can use any program of your choice to put together a slide show with music that will be shown before or during the ceremony. If you are willing to help with this, please click on the sign up below to volunteer and THANK YOU!!!
On that note, 5th grade teachers are asking all parents to email 2 pictures of their child to us. One picture should be current and the other should be a baby or toddle photo. This presentation will only be viewed here at school and will not be posted online to protect our students’ privacy. Please send the pictures to me at [email protected] within the next week.
