Caribou Trails Update

Sunshine and Warmer Temperatures
As daylight extends into the evening hours, sleep becomes more challenging for everyone. It helps to be mindful of the hours and try to keep a consistent sleep schedule for these last weeks of school. Keeping a routine helps students to be more rested at school and helps with learning. It also helps students to get along with one another, as a few cranky students can quickly change the dynamic of a class.
So, let's keep everyone well rested and engaged for this last half of the final quarter. We are almost to the end of the year, so let's finish strong!
Take care and I will see you in the car line!

The Hutchison High School Media class has graciously agreed to provide this opportunity to view the ceremony on YouTube. The students will also host the event and embed the Youtube channel on their streaming page at: www.hhsstreamteam.com
It is going to be a wonderful event. We hope to see many in person and watching on Youtube.
Thank you,

April Month of the Military Child Celebrations
We are into April and the Month of the Military Child! Around the school doors are being decorated and bulletin boards are going up. We are happy to celebrate our students this month!
April 15 we will celebrate the Day of the Military Child. This is the day we wear purple in support of our children.
April 29, from 5:00-6:30 we will have the Crawford Carnival. This is a community event welcoming the Anderson families to Crawford. Please come, enjoy the carnival and get familiar with the school and staff. Be looking out for information from our PTO about grade level donations for the carnival and prepaid coupons for carnival events. We will be asking for specific items by grade level and would appreciate you picking up an extra item at the Commissary to help us put this on.
Of course, the entire month of April will host the PTO Month of the Military Child Door Decorating contest! These will still be up at the Carnival on April 29, so be sure to walk around the building to admire the hard work and creativity of our students and teachers.
Just a quick note with happenings and how to help!
