We have collected several items in or lost and found. The rack will be placed at the front entrance if you would like to stop by and take a look.

We will not be having our meeting this month due to how crazy May gets for everyone. We will start back up again in September of next year! Thank you to all the parents that participated. I hope that we will have more next year!

Summer Advantage invites were mailed on May 2nd.

Summer Advantage is an extended opportunity for students to learn and achieve success through intellectual development, student agency and goal setting opportunities. Student success will be dependent upon a collaborative effort between students, teachers, parents and administration. Summer Advantage will be held in person June 1st - June 29th Tuesday through Friday from 9:00 am.-3:00 pm.

Please return forms by May 13th.

What a great year we have had. It’s hard to believe that it’s coming to an end. I have enjoyed seeing the growth of the kids over the course of the year. It’s amazing how much their little minds can hold.

Even though the school year is ending, remember that doesn’t mean the learning has to. There are so many fun things that you can do in the summer to help your child grow. If you are unable to have your child participate in Summer Advantage, try some of these fun learning ideas this summer.

• If you are traveling, try singing alphabet songs in the car, or counting. You can also play the license plate game where you have kids find the letters of the alphabet as you are driving.

• If you will be home, maybe you could set up a routine. Some people do it by the day. For example, you could have Make it Monday, and try some new arts and crafts projects.

• Of all the great things you can do, the most important is to make sure you read daily. It is so nice to have a short story time before bed in the summer months.

Enjoy this precious time with your children, and add some fun learning at the same time.

See some of you next year.

Hello CFL Families,

Field Day is coming! It will be held in the afternoon on the last day of school, May 26th. Look for information in your child's Tuesday folder. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact our front office and fill out a background check. I would love some help with stations and in your kiddos classroom. Please reach out if you would be interested in helping out. We will be continuing to focus on our skills in PE class and getting prepared for the end of the year. Thank you for sending your student with tennis shoes everyday for class, it helps with their safety.

Thank you,

-Mr. Cora

Hello from Preschool!

It is hard to believe that the end of the school year is almost here. It seems like only yesterday that we were setting off on our preschool adventure together! It has been a pleasure to be part of your children’s tremendous growth this year. For all of our dear students moving on to new learning experiences, we will enjoy our last weeks of fun and learning together. For those who will be returning to us in the fall, we look forward to another great year together. We appreciate the opportunity to continue being part of your children’s learning journey.
