News from the Principal's Desk
We are busy getting ready for the Elementary Spring Music Concert on May 16 at 6:30 PM in the Door Community Auditorium. We are going to be celebrating "The Circus Is Coming to Town" and it sounds like a great show. Thanks for Lori Free for coordinating this event. Please see her webpage for costume ideas and notes.
Please note the Theater tickets that are coming home courtesy of Northern Sky Theater in Peninsula State Park and to the Maritime Museum in Sturgeon Bay. Thank you to Northern Sky Theater for providing Door County students with tickets to such quality shows. Please look for them in your child’s take home folder soon.
Kindergarten registration is Thursday, May 9, 2019. It will be exciting to meet the Gibraltar Class of 2032 as they start their educational journey.
As we get into May, it is important to note all of the field trips and special events that are happening in the last month of school. Please note the calendar below and any events that may pertain to your child. Watch your child’s backpack for important notes and changes or cancellations that may happen due to weather.
Please note this week that Elementary Yearbook ordering information was sent home from Mr. Scoville. Orders are due by May 24, 2019. Please contact Mr. Scoville if you have any questions.
If you have any questions or concerns, please stop by or call the Gibraltar Elementary office at 920-868-3284 ext 283
