Newsletter – May 9th

May 8, 2024

We are headed into the last two weeks of school! Please be aware there are many important dates and information below.

Thank you to all the parents who came to Day at the K! We all had a wonderful time, and the Royals won! It was a great day and I’m sure the students had a great time.

FINE ARTS NIGHTS – May 9th at 6:30 pm
We are excited about the opportunity to showcase our Arts department. Our music directors have worked with the students all year on music theory, rhythm, and voice. During the evening, each choir will be performing. Our bands and recorders, directed by Mrs. Eckhoff, will also perform. Mrs. Bird’s art class projects will be displayed around the building; families will be invited to an Open House where they can enjoy the art projects done by the students.
Students will arrive at 6:15 pm and meet their teacher in their classroom. After the music performance, students return to their classrooms; parents pick them up.
Students in Kindergarten – 2nd grade are to wear their Sunday best. The 3rd – 8th grade students are to wear WHITE TOPS AND BLACK BOTTOMS. There will be a cookie reception after the program in the commons.
In addition, we will also have a SILENT AUCTION with the class art projects. You can start bidding on them on April 25th.

ALL STATES AND CAPITALS TEST
We will take a test on all the states and capitals for the U.S. on Wednesday, May 15th. Students will be given either the state or the capital and they will need to tell the corresponding state or capital. For example: 1. ________, Alabama – students would need to tell the capital for Alabama.

Work Completed by May 16th
As we approach the end of the school year, all work must be turned in by Thursday, May 16th. If any work is missing on May 16th, it will be turned to a 0 in the grade book.

We will be cleaning out our desks and lockers the last few days of school on May 20th, 21st, and 22nd. Students should still bring their backpacks to take their items home.

Permission slips for our picnic are going home in today’s Thursday folders. We will be going as a whole school to Gum Springs Park for picnics. We will be walking to the park. Please see the information on the form.
