The plants are GROWING fast!

PLANT SALE - Our plant sale is scheduled for Thursday, May 22.  It will begin at 7:30am and plants will continue to be available until they run out, or the end of the school day whichever comes first.  We will be selling tomato plants, pepper plants, and a variety of herbs for $3.00 per pot. Please spread the word to friends and family if they are interested in picking up a few plants for their garden!  Please spread the word to all your family, friends, neighbors, church people, etc. - we're hoping for a BIG crowd! Remember CASH or CHECK only.

Each student will be assigned a "shift" to work, and I will need ONE MORE student who can be to school early on that Thursday morning (7:30).  If you are able to get your student dropped off at 7:25 on Thursday, please let me know and I will plug them into that first shift slot.  Thank you! 

Two other plant sale requests:

1.  Each child should bring a lawn chair or blanket to use that morning as their outdoor learning space while they are not "working" the plant sale.  

2.  If you have any boxes laying around that we could use to package up our customers' purchases, we will gladly accept those anytime next week.  Thank you!

Band or Orchestra: There is a note from Mr. Nester and Mr. Veenstra in your child's Friday folder. It is regarding 5th grade band, music, and orchestra. Your child will need to select their choice of band, orchestra, or music. Then they need to select their top 3 instrument choices. This form needs to be returned by Thursday, May 22th. 

Writing Celebration: We are celebrating the conclusion of our information writing unit. We would like to celebrate with a treat on Friday, May 23. If you are willing to provide some gluten free popsicles for 54 kids, please email me and let me know. 

Library notice: All student library materials are due by May 16.
