Kokomo Beach Day
Wednesday is Kokomo Beach Day. Kids are welcome to wear school-appropriate beach attire and a towel to eat on at lunch. Our wonderful PTO will have games and popsicles for the kids after lunch.
Desk Clean Out
We will be cleaning out and packing up desks and art boxes on Wednesday, May 25. I have tried to send home materials slowly as we finish using them so the kids aren't lugging home a huge bag this week. If your child doesn't think his/her remaining items will fit in a backpack, please send in an additional bag this day.
Yearbook Signing
We will be signing yearbooks on Wednesday, May 25. If your child ordered a yearbook, I have it here. If your child did not order a yearbook, there is a limited quantity available in the front office. I always have some kids who opt to have a piece of paper or a t-shirt signed instead. Please discuss with your child whether or not they are allowed to have their clothing signed because that is hard for me to keep track of once they get going.
Graduation
4th grade graduation will take place in the gymnasium at 9:45 am. It will just be 4th graders this year, which should allow for more space for families to attend. Students should look nice. I encouraged them to start thinking about and trying on clothes tonight since we always seem to have a few who find out the night before graduation that their pants are too short or their shoes don't fit! We will have specials beginning at 11:05, so after the ceremony, we will encourage you to get your hugs and kisses, take some photos, then allow your child to go change so that they can get back to class. Don't forget your tissues!
Pizza Party
As a farewell gift to our students, the fourth grade teachers buy a pizza lunch on the last day of school. Unless your child is allergic to pizza or does not like it, he/she will not need a lunch on that day.
Kona Ice
Kona Ice will be here on the last day of school! Please send in money this week if your child would like to purchase a snow cone. Prices are:
$2 Kiddie Kona
$3 Regular Kona
$4 King Kona
$5 Kowabunga
$5 Mood Cup
Final Walk through the Hallways
4th graders will be taking their final walk/dance through the hallways at 3:10. Parents are welcome to come watch and take students home after we are done. Please let me know if you will be taking your child. We will wait in the gym for you to find us. If I don't hear from you, I will send your child home his/her normal way.
Have a Wonderful Summer
I hope each of you have a safe, fun, and relaxing summer! I have truly enjoyed this group of kids and can't wait to hear about all of the amazing things they will accomplish in middle school and beyond!
