Important Information
JK News for the Last Weeks of School
There will be alot of activities going on between now and the end of school. I want to be sure and keep you up to date on all activities , so I have made a printed copy of the newsletter , instead of the online edition, for you to refer back to from now until the last day of school.
Thursday, May 22- Grandparents day. The celebration will begin at 10:00 am. Grandparents should come to the JK classroom at this time. They will be able to tour the school with their grandchild then make their way to the Armory to view the Art show. Once at the Armory, grandparents and students will be able to make a book together about Grandparents Day. JK-2 has a special song they will sing at 11:00. We will eat lunch in the Armory at 11:30am. You can order lunch for your child ahead of time, or pack a lunch. Grandparents lunches are free if they RSVP to the school in time. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Please be sure to send in your child's flip flops by Friday, May 23.

June 4- Last Day of School/Field Day
Students should wear their field day tshirts to school. Please be sure to apply sunscreen at home. There will be swimming at the end of field day, so you may want to have them wear a bathing suit under their clothes. I will need several parents who can bring a cooler with extra drinks for the class on that day. They will participate in field day activities the first part of the morning, take a break, then swimming. Everyone will be dismissed at 12:00 from the Aquatic Center. Parents are encouraged to attend field day especially during the swimming activities.
