Week 33

 Week 33: April 29-May 3

Upcoming Dates: 

Wednesday, May 1: Sarett Nature Center

This Wednesday we head to Sarett Nature Center. We will leave the school at 10:00am. Please note the signup sheet indicates an earlier departure time. I am sorry for my mistake causing confusion. 

Box lunches have been ordered for anyone who did not return the order form or who may have returned it after the kitchen deadline passed. Please remember to send a lunch with your child if that is the option you chose. 

**Wednesday, May 15, 1:00-3:00: Kiwanis Park Day

Please note this date has changed. When we originally planned our park day, Field Day had not yet been set. We moved our park day to the 15th to accommodate the school-wide Field Day. I am so sorry for the inconvenience. We still would like to have snacks at the park and walkers to join us. Please adjust the sign up sheet as needed.

Wednesday, May 22 from 11:00-12:00: Courtyard Games

If you’d like to volunteer to help with this, please contact the coordinator, Carly Edinger. She can be reached at 269-281-4938

Thursday, May 23: School-Wide Field Day

Our incredible PTO is organizing volunteers for this fun day.

Friday, May 24: Tie Dye Day

Thanks so much to everyone who has signed up to volunteer their time and to donate items. We are grateful for your help and are very excited for all the fun things we have planned for the kiddos as we wrap up a great year. Please check out the signup sheet here if you would like to join in any of the fun.
