Hello Families!

Whew! We are SUPER glad testing is over! I am so very proud of how hard the kids worked!

The next week will be very busy, but fun!  I hope you have your A to Z Countdown Calendar of Events in a special place.  Monday will be C day.  The kids can bring their favorite candybar to school!  We had a lot of fun with today's activity: Bubblegum blowing contest......the winners were: Carlie - first place, Kayleb 2nd place, and Karrington, Hunter, and Kassidy tied for 3rd place!

Thanks to all who sent their blue signed note back on time.  There is a pink note that went home today that needs to be returned next week in order for your child to participate in our Safety Day next Friday.  Also next Friday is the Spring Fling.  More information will be sent home next week regarding this fun event!  I hope everyone saw the note saying that our Leonardo's field trip has been changed to Monday, May 20th.  Thanks to all who have signed up to volunteer on either field trip!! We greatly appreciate you!
