April 17 News and Notes

Are you enjoying the beautiful weather? I know I am! Please send a light jacket to school with your child for the hook.  If it is windy/slightly chilly by recess time in the morning, they have to wear something on their arms! 

Due to the fact that it is another short week, students will say memory on Thursday and Friday. This is for BOTH grades. Reading will be normal this week.

Bike-A-Thon -Thursday, April 24 th

A few things to remember for this event:
*Please drop your child's bike or scooter off at they gym on Thursday morning.  Please mark the bike somehow with your child's name.
*Please send along helmets and any pads you would like them to wear and mark clearly with student name.
*Kids are required to bring a water bottle.  Please mark this also clearly with the student name. No water bottle- no bike ride.

Our field trip will take place on Tuesday, May 20th.  We will be traveling to Springfield, Illinois to visit Riverside Stables.  Our trip will include a tour of the barn, a group lesson on horse care, a visit with the barn animals, a turn to ride on a horse, a hay rack ride, and a picnic lunch.  Cost for adults will be $10.  Student admission is paid for through the Field Trip Fund.  More details will follow as we get closer.  Please send Mrs. Bradshaw a note or email if you would like to join us as an adult chaperone and driver!
