May 3rd News and Notes

Field Trip News
The kids are so ready for their Field Trip to The Fox Theatre and The Butterfly House on Tuesday!  A few things to remember for that day:
*  We will be meeting that morning by the Jesus picture at the gym and our goal is to leave the building at 7:30am.  Please be sure to have your child there on time so that we can keep on schedule.
*  Please send your child with a cold lunch that we will eat at Faust Park before visiting The Butterfly House.  Chaperones will be bringing coolers so that lunches can be stored in a cold place until lunch time.
*  First grade students need to bring along their car seat.
*  Please remind your student to use respectfulness and good manners while out in the public representing St. John's Lutheran School.
*  Many children will be riding with their own parents.  Chaperones of children who are not will be in contact with the parents of those students riding with them regarding return time to St. John's. 

Please call or email with any questions.  Thanks!
