 Lions had a great week last week! I enjoyed seeing some of 4th graders in math and in Benchmark. Ms. Allen's class sent in a photo of them celebrating Earth Day and Mrs. LaBarbera's Kindergarten class enjoyed working on their phonics using shaving cream - a definite favorite way to practice. Many of our 6th graders visited Kilmer Middle School on Friday to check out what next year will look and feel like. Finally, we celebrated April birthdays with a school-wide Camping Day on Friday! Thank you to our room parents for organizing Freaky Friday treats for all classes.
Last call for any class placement input from parents using our intent to return form linked here. The opportunity to provide input closes on Friday so our teacher teams can begin organizing for next year.
All classes will have an end of year class/grade party. The day when all K - 5 parties will be held is Tuesday, June 16. Class party times will be determined by school administration and shared with teams & room parents soon. Room parents can begin planning for a spring/summer themed snack, crafts, games, and party.
Our 6th grade tradition is to celebrate as a grade level for a full day. Sixth Grade Day will be on Friday, June 5. Any 6th grade parent interested in being a part of the core planning committee should email their teacher or room parents this week. We appreciate all our parents & volunteers!
Have a great week!
