A couple notes about the last week of school:

Field Day - Tuesday, May 22 - 9:00-11:00

Third grade parents always have some questions about Field Day.
*You are welcome to watch your third grader in Field Day.
*You are invited to come from 11:00-11:30 to participate in activities with your child.  You need to wear your sneakers because you will be running.  It is a fun day to play games with your 3-5 grade child/children.
*After participating in Field Day activities you are welcome to bring a cold lunch and have a picnic with your child on the field.  Your child may order hot lunch that day but we do not provide lunch for all parents.
