Dear Families,

Few days left and a lot of rain (indoor recess) is not a good mix!  Let’s hope for some sunshine soon!

We especially hope for sunshine on the day of our school picnic, June 10^th.  As a reminder, you may bring a picnic lunch for your family or buy a picnic lunch.  A purple sign-up sheet went home last Friday.  It is necessary to respond if you are buying lunch.  The schedule is as follows:

            Kindergarten, Grade 2:               11:00 - 11:40

            Grade 1; Grade 4:                      11:50 - 12:30

            Grade 5; Grade 3:                      12:40 - 1:20

Field days are coming up soon!  The schedule is:

            Monday, June 8^th -          9:00 - 11:00       (2^nd grade)        12:15 - 2:15    (1^st grade)

            Tuesday, June 9^th -         9:00 - 11:00       (3^rd grade)         12:00 - 2:00    (Kindergarten)

            Wednesday, June 10^th - 9:00 - 11:00        (4^th grade)         No field days - School Picnic

            Thursday, June 11^th -      9:00 - 11:00       (5^th grade)

Mr. Day still needs volunteers.  You can call him at 652-7211.

We have a choral assembly next Tuesday, June 2^nd from 9:30 - 10:15.  Each grade will sing a song and two 4^th grade classes will play their recorders.

The last PTO meeting of the year is scheduled for next Thursday evening, June 4^th at 6:30 pm.  Thanks again to all of our wonderful PTO volunteers and a huge round of applause goes out to Melissa Baker and Lee Jackson for their fine leadership and dedication.

Next Friday, June 5^th at 2:45, we will gather to honor parent and past PTO chair, Teri Johnston, who passed away in 2006. As a result of a generous donation from her family, we will dedicate a section of our library to Teri and fill it with special books selected by staff, family and friends. Teri was a very special person who gave so much time and energy to our school.  All are welcome to join us in the library for this special event.

Our final school assembly is on our last day of school, June 12^th at 8:30 am.  It is an opportunity to celebrate the end of another great year and a time to congratulate our 5^th graders moving on to the Middle School.  Please join us!

Thank you for your generous contributions throughout our food drive.  We delivered 560 pounds of food to the Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf today.  Wow!

 

Warm regards,
