Dear Parents,
The end of the year is fast approaching and we would like to make sure you know about important dates and events.
First, the library needs ALL books returned no later than Wed., May 23. Both Mr. Lupo and myself have loaned out (honor system) hundreds of books (literally). Please check backpacks, tote trays, closets, under beds, etc and return them ASAP. Each year we spend $100’s to replace books from our classrooms.
We start our social studies presentations tomorrow, and research papers are due then too. When we finish up those, we will start our debates on the geographical issues of the Western Hemisphere. The kids are very excited to start passionately arguing their issues. Remember that your students should have 30 books read by next Friday, and their spiral summaries turned in then too.
Ken Caryl Middle School’s, librarian will be coming next week to talk to your children about their AR summer reading program. Ask your child about what they heard, and what goals they will set for summer reading.
Our slide show and root beer float get together is Tuesday, May 29 at 5:45 in the gym. We will start at 6:00pm. We will burn CD’s for everyone because the pictures are just wonderful.
The school wide award assembly is Wednesday, May 30 at 9:30 in the gym. From there we will take a bus to the Columbine Knolls pool and arrive around 10:45-11:00. A flyer and permission slip was sent home in Friday folders last week. We need to collect that $5 and slip ASAP. We will hand out continuation certificates, eat lunch and swim until 3:00. It is your responsibility to pick up your child from the pool at that time. Report cards will be handed out at 3:00.
There is no school for sixth graders on Thursday, May 31.
I hope that clarifies everything. If you have any questions, please contact us directly.
Mrs. Story
