Morning Running Club
**UPDATE: Morning Running Club
Start your morning with a smile !
We are over the 50 student capacity for Morning Running Club. Instead of turning students away, I have decided to add two additional running days. Each student/family will be assigned 2 days to run. Students/families may only come to the running club on the days that they are assigned. Each student/family will be assigned to either Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday. If you have a preference please contact me & I will do my best to accommodate!
**Please check your students backpack on Friday for a letter that will let you know what days your child is assigned!! The new schedule will begin right away!
Please click on the link below to fill out the Google Form to sign-up if you have not already done so.
Water bottles...a needed item for all students!
This year we DO NOT have the water fountains working ( We do have the bottle filler available). Therefore the only way for your student to stay hydrated during the day, after PE or recess is if they bring their own water bottle. We are finding many students go without water...all...day...long! Please check with your student to make sure they are bringing one daily!
Bike to School Day!!!
Mark your calendars!!! Bike to School Day is May 5th this year. Fireman’s Park and Rathje will be where the trains begin. Bike stops will be at Erie, Clinton, Dorchester, and Gables. Trains will meet at 9:00 and start riding at 9:10. Bikes, trikes, tag-a-longs, and training wheels are all welcome. Helmets are highly encouraged. Decorate your bikes with some fun spring colors!!! It will brighten up the year book!!
We need someone to lead the train from Rathje. Bob Boden will lead the train from Fireman’s Park.
Due to Covid and social distancing, we are going to have the kids lock their bikes and head to their classroom doors. During their PE classes, Mrs. Wecker will take photos with their class and bikes.
For VA students, if you are interested, ride to Emerson and meet at 8:30. Mrs. Wecker will take a photo. That should give students enough time to get back home before school starts for VA.
Any parent volunteers would be appreciated. We would love someone to take pictures during the train and locking up bikes as well. Thank you!!
IAR TESTING ...Important
We need students to remember:
- Plug in your Chromebook overnight
- bring your Chromebook to school daily.
Thank you!
Staff Appreciation Week
Staff appreciation week is the week of May 3-7th. The PTA has put together some great things for the teachers during the week to let them know how much we appreciate them! Feel free to send in notes/gifts to your favorite teachers and staff members during the week as well. Watch for a handout coming home with the kids that they can fill out for their favorite teachers! Here is a copy of that if you need extras.
