April 24th News and Notes

Hey guys!

A few notes- we need parent helpers for our school-wide Field Day on Wednesday, May 21 st.  If you would like to help out, just give us a note in your child's folder! Please let us know also if you will be able to attend our Field Trip to Springfield, IL on Tuesday, May 20 th.  Also, the weather is still cooler/rainy, so a rain jacket or light jacket would be very helpful for recess time. Lastly, this coming week is my last week student teaching. I'm sad to leave, but feel blessed to have worked with each of your children.
