News and Information
Swimming continues Monday and Tuesday next week. Tuesday is our last day!
Class Spelling Bee
Our class spelling bee will be Tuesday, March 13. During that time the top 5 spellers will be determined. Those 5 will move on to the 2nd grade spelling bee on March 23rd. There will also be 2 alternates identified in case someone is absent on March 23rd. Both spelling bees are for students and teachers only. This is for fun and to introduce them to the spelling bee format for future years when they can move on to the Grant County bee.
Wax Museum Is Coming Up Soon!
April 20th is the date of the wax museum. Please start working on your child’s costume. I need the costumes at school no later than Friday, April 13th. Please don’t spend lots of money on the costume. It is nice to shop at Goodwill and other thrift shops to find pieces that will make the costume special. Just get as close as you can to the look and time period of the character and be creative!
Winter Blues Dress Up Days
Mar. 9 Mix and Match day (wear clothes that don't match)
Mar. 23 Island/ sunglasses day
Winter Coats Needed- please continue to send a winter coat with your child. Morning recess is still quite chilly and we want everyone to be dressed safely for the temperature.
If you’d like to sit with your child at lunch we’d love to have you. Lunch begins at 11:47 a.m. If you wish to eat the school lunch, please call the office to order a tray.
