June 6th, 2011

We have a new student! Welcome to Raphael - he is already fitting in beautifully!

Just a few reminders for this week:
1. We'll be having our first trip to the Municipal Library tomorrow afternoon. Please send your child's library card to school for this event. (If they don't have a card, the library will provide one, as long as parents provide the child's box # and telephone #.)
2. To help celebrate Environment Week, our school is participating in Wild and Wacky Walking Wednesday. Students are invited (but not required) to come to school in unusual ways - ones that don't involve the use of motor vehicles. (They can decorate a bike or use a pogo stick or get someone to push them in a wheel barrow - whatever they can dream up!)
3. We'll be hiking to Mina Lake this Friday - leaving at 11:00 and returning between 3:00 and 3:15. Remember that the students will need appropriate clothing and footwear and a backpack with a lunch and a water bottle. Sunscreen and mosquito repellent might not be a bad idea, as well. Thanks to the parents who've volunteered to come along on the hike. If any other parents would like to join us, just let me know - we'd be happy to have you come along!
4. This Friday is also Beach Day. Students are invited to dress in beach-type clothing. (Naturally, everyone will need to change into appropriate hiking wear before we head up to Mina.)
5. The last book order of the year is due this Friday. (Book orders went home with the students today.)
