There will be a Spotlight lunch (lunch provided) for our 6th graders and their parents beforehand at 12:20 and a reception for the 6th grade graduates and their families in the library following the ceremony.
Play Day/ Last Day of School
Rain or shine, it’s a celebration! Thursday, May 19, 2022 we celebrate the end of the school year with a lunchtime picnic and afternoon play day. We’ll have hot dogs with all the trimmings served from 11:50 am until 12:50 pm. Parents are always welcome!
At 12:50 pm, The Dragons’ Play Day begins with fun for all! Past favorite events include sidewalk art, marble games and face painting. We will also have our Kids Safety Bike Rodeo. Permission slips went home today for that activity and MUST be returned for your student to participate. Parents are invited to participate in, or lead play day events. Come see the sign-up sheet in the office. Help with one of our event ideas or add your own! The more events that we have, both indoors and out, the bigger blast our play day will be. We are gathering event ideas so be sure to add yours to the list! Here is a list of the picnic contributions students in each class should bring:
Corise: Chips
Anne: Hot Dog Buns
Ashley: Cookies
Kendall: Veggies and Fruit
Cheryl: Juice Boxes or Seltzers
Charley: Diced Onions, Pickles & Black Olives (There will be a sign up sheet.)
