Hello Baltz Families!

There are so many things happening in the coming weeks as the school year comes to a close.

• No School on Monday 5/30 in observance of Memorial Day.
• Field Day is happening on Friday 6/3. Here is a message from Mrs. Crouthamel with some information about Field Day!
  

Dear Baltz Families,

Our 2022 Field Day will take place on Friday, June 3!! Our theme this year is "A Day at the Beach". Students will be outside for approximately 3 hours rotating through stations. As of now the weather should be in the mid 70's! Fingers crossed it stays this way!!

Students should dress appropriately for activity and for the weather. They will need to wear sneakers, a hat is recommended, and bring a water bottle (or 2) with their name on it. Please apply sunscreen at home before they come to school.

Parents are welcome to come observe your children. Kindergartner through third grade will be in the morning from beginning at 9:10. Fourth and fifth grade will be in the afternoon beginning around 12:30.
