Week of 5/28

Odds and Ends:

*End of the Year Picnic: The picnic will take place on Mon. 6/2.  For safety concerns, children will NOT be able to participate in the field games wearing flip flops. Please have your child wear gym shoes or have shoes to change into. Thank you for your participation!
Also, lunch will be served at this picnic. If your child does not eat hot dogs or would like more than one hot dog, please send a sack lunch that day. Thank you!

*Bowling Field Trip: We will go bowling Fri. 5/31 am. Since the students are able to purchase snacks at the bowling alley, it is advised that they do not sign up for a hot lunch since we come right back to school and head to the lunch room and often students are not hungry enough to finish their lunch and it goes to waste. Please send a sack lunch that day that your child can take home if they do not finish it.
Thank you for your cooperation!
