This Week
The final days of school are very busy. Here is a list of everything we will be doing for the rest of the year. Family members are always welcome and encouraged to attend all of the upcoming events! If you are planning to chaperone one or both of the walking field trips please email your kiddo's teacher.
Tuesday, May 17 @ 8:30-10:00ish 7th Street Cummins Garden Trip
Kindergarten will be walking to the 7th Street Cummins Garden to move dirt into the raised garden beds. Please be sure to dress your child in old clothes that day. We will be getting dirty!
If you are planning to come and help move dirt please bring a shovel if you have one.
If it rains on Tuesday, we will try and reschedule our walking field trip for Wednesday!
Monday, May 23 @ 1:30 Kindergarten Promotion
Kindergarten will be having a promotion ceremony. The kiddos will sing a few songs and receive a certificate. Afterwards, there will be cookies and punch for families to enjoy together. We ask that you do not park in the bus zone. The bus will arrive for dismissal before the event is over.
Tuesday, May 24 @ 9:30- Orange Leaf Paw Party
Kindergarten will be taking a walking field trip Orange Leaf. We will also get to play on the Kid’s Commons playground.
Report cards will be sent home Tuesday afternoon
Wednesday, May 25- Field Day at Donner Park
All kiddos will be dropped off and picked up at Donner Park. Please see the yellow page that was sent home for details. If you need another copy please write a note in your child’s take home folder or send an email.
Summer Birthdays
We wanted to be sure every child with a summer birthday has the opportunity to celebrate with their class. Each child with a summer birthday was given a celebration day in May before school lets out. You are welcome to send in snacks on your kiddo's celebration day. Please remember no homemade treats. The class really enjoys individually wrapped frozen treats, rice crispy treats, and cookies.
