May 2

Only a couple announcements this week:

HOMEWORK - Please remind your child to be diligent and honest with their reading and math minutes each week.  We only have about 5 weeks left to do these, so be sure to work hard at home each week and turn them in on Monday.  

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.  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 a few who can be to school early on that Thursday morning (7:30).  If your child is NOT in orchestra and yo 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!

Half-day Dismissal: Due to the Tulip Time Kinderparade, there will be no afternoon transportation Thursday, May 8, including all shuttle services and HPS transportation. Students who are NOT participating in the parade will need to find alternate transportation home with school dismissal taking place at 11:30. If your student is marching, families will need to pick up their students at the end of the parade route.

From Mrs. Rietman: Recorder karate is off to a great start, and I'm hoping to see some more participation in the coming weeks. Please click on this link for all the resources your student will need.  It contains a list of songs, links to all the demo videos, and the recorder music for each belt.
