Newsletter For April 13th – 17th

April 8, 2026

We enjoyed being back together again after Easter Break! We enjoyed being outdoors walking, running and talking with our friends during our Jog-A-Thon! We hope to make a difference with the donations and pledges we received. We are nearly done with our KAP Testing and tried to do our best. Now, we are focused on our Celebrating America Fair Night, which is coming up on Tuesday, April 28th! Please read more about the Jog-A-Thon and Celebrate America – 250 Years under the headings below.

JOG-A-THON
We are still hoping for and accepting donations for our school Jog-A-Thon goals. Please use the link below to sponsor our 4th grade class and help us reach our goal. Thank you so much to all who have supported this fundraiser to improve our school improve our health services, PE education programs, health (physical and mental) education, and campus and internet safety initiatives!

Get Ready for Our “Celebrate America – 250 Years” History Fair Event!
Our students have been working hard on their projects and presentations, and we can’t wait for you to see their creativity and dedication come to life on Thursday, April 30th.  Be sure to put it on your calendar, and invite family and friends!
We are working on featuring “All Things Kansas” in our fourth grade classroom. We are writing reports and creating small artifacts or projects to display that night. We plan to dress as cowboys and cowgirls. We are asking that parents help us to wear blue jeans, a white button up, collared shirt, and (if possible) some cowboy boots. The students will be provided with matching cowboy hats and red or blue bandanas. Please contact the teacher if you would be willing to help serve food samples the night of the fair. We would be sure to arrange short shifts so that parents would also have time to tour the fair with their families.

Memorizing States and Capitals
We sent flash cards home before Spring Break to be used to begin preparing for a final test of the 50 states and capitals. Please help your child continue to practice the Northeast and Southeast states and continue learning the others until all 50 are mastered! We will expect the flash cards to be cared for and placed back neatly in the boxes and ziplock bag provided. Please be sure the boxes and cards are not torn or bent. Please be sure they are stored in the box and bag when not in use. Students will be responsible for returning the cards they “checked out” on or before the end of the school year.
