Newsletter: May 28

We are winding down. There are 5 more days of school! I wanted to fill you in on end-of-year things that are happening in our room and school. 

 Field Day 
Was a HUGE success! Special thanks to our volunteers who helped it run smoothly. The kids did excellent! We will have our awards next week. Students who placed in the top 3 of their event will receive ribbons. 

Spring Cleaning 
Next Monday, June 2, we will be cleaning! We will clean out desks and lockers. Please make sure your student brings an extra bag (or two) to haul things home. We will have a few things left to send home on the last day, but the majority will be taken care of on Monday.

 Books and T-shirts 
Vineyard Community Church is collecting children’s books and gently used child-size t-shirts (adult smalls as well) for summer community outreach projects. If you have things you would like to donate you can send it to school with your student or drop it off at Vineyard (located next to WMS).

Newsletter: May 16

We have 13 days of school left! I cannot believe how time has flown by. The kids are doing great as we finish up some things. We are currently working on projects for the Solar System or Human Body in Science, making demonstration videos for positive behavior in our school, and practicing our states, capitals, and abbreviations for Social Studies! 

RELAY FOR LIFE! 
We had a GREAT walk-a-thon today! I am proud of the kids and their efforts to help fight cancer! Last I heard we were close to raising $10,000 as a school!!!! FANTASTIC!!! 

Some highlights for our class: 
Noelle, Hannah, Miss C logged 2 miles each 
Niles ran 7.2 miles 
Lilly walked 1 mile backward 
Everyone was moving the whole time! 

Field Day 
Due to the threat of rain, we have postponed Field Day. We will let you know on Monday the rescheduled date! (Most likely May 27 from 8-12). 
 If you would like to help, let me know!
