Please remember that we are looking for donations for our Snow School Picnic Raffle Baskets.  4th grade’s theme is “Roblox/Legos” and 5th grade’s theme is “Gift Card Tree”.  So far, I have received only one donation.  These raffle baskets are a huge money maker for our picnic and helps keep the costs down for families to enjoy food and activities.  Please help support our PTA and the students of our school by making any donations to these baskets by May 31st.

It is coming close to the end of the school year, and many students have late or missing work.  Please go through your child’s homework folder and backpack and look for any work that has not been completed and/or turned in.

Looking for volunteers for Field Day:

Please remember to have your child bring a white T-shirt to school on Monday, May 21st to design and decorate in Art for the 5th grade Musical.  Materials will be provided for students to decorate their shirts.  If your child does not bring in a shirt, he/she will have to decorate it with your own materials at home.

Thank you and have a great weekend!

Just a reminder that all students need to bring in a white T-shirt to school by Monday, May 21st to work on designing the shirt in art for the 5th grade musical.  The shirt can be short or long-sleeved, but must be plain white with no writing on it. ( Michaels sells plain white shirts for $3.99.)  Since this is a split, the 4th graders will be performing with the 5th graders in the chorus of the musical, so they should bring in a shirt to decorate as well.

Thank you in advance,

Team 5th grade
