Prestwood Connection
June 5, 2023
We are 4 days away from summer break! We had so many wonderful events last week. We celebrated, we played, and we had lots of fun!
As I look back on this school year, I am so proud of our Prestwood Panthers for their hard work and learning this year. As our 5th graders head off to middle school, I know they will each accomplish great things.
Thank you! - There are no words to describe how thankful I am for the Prestwood parents, guardians, grandparents, volunteers, and more who made our Prestwood community complete. You are an essential piece to our Prestwood community. Thank you for all that you do to support your Prestwood students. Whether you volunteered for a field trip, worked in a classroom, donated to a classroom project, or supported your Prestwood Panther - THANK YOU! Our school would not be the same without your support!
Summer Reading Challenge - Mrs. Callahan has planned a super fun reading challenge for your Prestwood students. All students are encouraged to read over the summer and "Travel Around the World" using their reading log. In August, when we return to school, please have your student turn in this reading log. The winning grade level will earn a pizza party with Mrs. Thomas. There will also be other surprise prizes! Happy reading!
Last week of school reminders:
- Monday & Tuesday - Normal school day: 8:20am - 3:00pm
- Wednesday & Thursday - Minimum day: 8:20am - 1:15pm
- Chromebooks - All student devices must be turned into school. If your student has stickers on them, please try to remove them. Thank you!
- Library Books - Please double check to make sure all library books are turned in.
- Lost & Found - Double check the lost and found before Summer Break.
Have a wonderful Summer Break and see you on August 14th for our first day of school!
