SOLAR ECLIPSE 2024
Please take a moment to review a very cool Solar Eclipse Learning Opportunity designed for your children by Mrs. Mikkelsen and sponsored by PTC. Younger students will be partnered with older buddies and their teachers. Please talk with your children about the importance of following directions with the glasses to ensure everyone's safety. If you are not comfortable with your child participating in this activity, please let your classroom/homeroom teacher know and we will work to provide an alternative learning opportunity
Thank you!
Mrs. Kalina.
LOST AND FOUND
Please stop in and check out the lost and found before you leave on Spring Break! All items still remaining will be donated over break.

SUPPORT FOR AN ERIN FAMILY
Dear Erin Families,
One of our parents is a single dad who is having some medical issues and has recently been released from the hospital. Dad is caring for eight children, four of whom attend Erin. We would like to support them by providing meals during this challenging time.
Feel free to prepare a homemade meal, order takeout, or contribute in any other way that suits you best. Meals should be dropped of at school the day of for delivery. Your generosity will make a huge difference for this family during this difficult time.
Sign up here!
Thank you for your kindness and support.
WISCONSIN FORWARD TESTING REMINDER
3rd-8th grade students will be taking Wisconsin Forward Exams March 18th-April 26th. It is very important your child is in school testing days. The following are a few suggestions for helping your child do their best on the these exams:
Make sure your child gets an adequate amount of rest each night
a healthy diet is important at all times, but specific research suggests that students are able to perform better on tests if they have a well-balanced breakfast to begin the day
Tests are stress producers. Discuss the importance of doing well on tests, but too much discussion can be counterproductive so simply focus on encouraging your child to do their best
Student will also need to have wired headphones (not bluetooth) on testing day.
THE FUN FAIR IS COMING!
It is that time of year again and we are in the middle of planning the annual Fun Fair!
For those of you who have not experienced it before, the Fun Fair is the biggest PTC annual fundraiser of the year. This year marks 50 years. It will take place here on Saturday, April 20th and is a huge to-do. It is a carnival type event with games, prizes, food, bingo, 50/50 raffle, and a large silent auction. I have been in charge of the silent auction part of the fair for many years. Lots of time and energy is put into it. Each grade has a theme and we ask families to donate items that go with that theme if they would like to. These items are then used to help fill the baskets that are auctioned off on that day. I also get many donations from outside businesses; who very generously donate a variety of items.
There are many families and staff within our school who own their own businesses or have some type of home based business. (For example; Tupperware, Thirty-One, LuLaRoe, It Works, Color Street, homemade crafts, etc.) If any of this applies to you and you would like to make some sort of donation to this year’s silent auction, please contact Mrs. Schultz. Please do not feel obligated or feel as though you have to donate. This is just to let me know who to contact if you are interested in doing so.
Below you will find links to our classroom theme flyers! Please have any contributions turned into school by Monday, April 8th.
4th - Family Games, Puzzles and Books
5th - Cooking, Camping and Gardening
Middle School - Gift Cards and Money
Thank you!
