Play Day - Last Day of School!!
Rain or shine, it’s a celebration! Wednesday, May 19, 2021 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! Masks are required.
At 12:50 pm, The Dragons’ Play Day begins with fun for all! Past favorite events include sidewalk art, marble games and fingernail 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 Dogs
Ashley: Cookies
Kendall: Veggies and Fruit
Cheryl: Hot Dog Buns
Charley: Ketchup, Mustard, Sweet & Dill Relish, Pickles & Black Olives (There will be a sign up sheet.)
