DAVIS HILL COMMUNITY WEEKLY UPDATE
June 11, 2018
The count down is on... Two weeks left of school! Looking at the weather forecast for Field Day.. hopefully the forecast improves but it looks like it needs to be monitored closely as of now.
Thanks to everyone who attended our Family Picnic on Friday night! It was a lot of fun for everyone. Special thanks to all the volunteers (including all of those brave teachers who volunteered for the Dunk Tower!). Check out the DH Principal Facebook/ Twitter/ Instagram sites for pictures.
Have a wonderful week!
Kindly,
Jay C. Norton, Principal

FIELD DAY WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13
Students will be outdoors for some time during Field Day, so please don't forget sneakers, hats and water bottles (make sure they are labeled with names). Please apply sunscreen and/ bug spray in the morning before coming to school. There are some water activities, so if your child wants to bring a change of clothes, that is ok; however, we recommend that they don't get too soaked! We are looking forward to a great day on Field Day!
THANK YOU for your support!
End of the Year Message from the Davis Hill Library
1) The Last Day for students to have checked books out of the library was Friday June 8th. Please help your student return their library books this week.
2) Your student's class may or may not come to library the last 2 weeks of school even though they won't check out a book, depending on the teacher's preference, and special event's schedules. If they do, they can still have story time, and we have a new scavenger hunt to find all the suns (thank you Candice for all the great Scavenger hunts this year, in addition to all the other great help!) . The kids love these, and can have the fun so long as they keep nice quiet library voices.
3) This year's summer reading theme is "Open a Book & Start your Adventure". The packet will be distributed to the teachers around June 14th to send home with each student. Any student who turns in a summer reading log at the beginning of the next school year will have the chance of winning a prize.
Read all summer long, log your reading adventures and enjoy!
4) Anyone wants to learn more about volunteering in the library feel free to reach out to us. We assign each class 2-3 volunteers at the start of the school year. Helpers can also come in to help organize the shelves and work behind the scenes.
Thanks and have a GREAT summer!
