I'm sure you've heard - the PLANT SALE is coming soon! We've been preparing at school and are excited to see you May 21 starting at 7:30. Please spread the word to all your family, friends, neighbors, church people, etc. - we're hoping for a BIG crowd! (And in the meantime, please pray that our plants grow well and stay healthy!😁)
SWIMMING LESSONS - Starting on Monday, we will be participating in swimming lessons at the Holland Aquatic Center every day for two weeks (but NOT on the day of the Children's Tulip Time parade). A bus will take us there and back everyday. You may want to help your child choose clothes and shoes each day that are of the easy-on/easy-off style to make the changing process as painless as possible, as they do move the students through that quite quickly. You are welcome to come and watch on the 2 last days of lessons in the second week. More information will come about that in next week's blog.
TULIP TIME NOTE - Please locate the bright red(ish) colored Tulip Time Parade Note that came home this week and fill out the bottom portion (the exit ticket) by Friday and send it back to school for me. Thank you!
CHAPEL - On Monday, May 4, Mrs. Rietman will be having the 4th graders play their recorders as part of our weekly chapel service at Rose Park. This takes place from 10:40-11:15. Feel free to join us that day as your children lead us in worshipping our Savior.
GUINEA PIG SUMMER HOME - Stormi is looking for a temporary home during the summer months. If your child(ren) have been asking for a(nother) pet, this is the perfect opportunity to appease them with a "short-term" pet. All supplies are provided (cage, bedding, food, etc.) for the summer. This can be a single family, or shared by multiple families throughout the summer. Stormi requires very little maintenance, and the small duties that do need to be performed can certainly be handled by your children - your 4th grader is an expert at caring for Stormi! Please let me know if you would be able to have her for the summer. Thank you!
END OF YEAR AUCTION - This year the students have been earning tickets in our classroom and are anticipating the auction in our classroom where they get to spend those tickets. There will be some live auction items as well as some items assigned a purchase price. I'm turning to you to help me create a nice supply of prizes that the students will be excited about. These can be brand new items, but also "garage sale" quality items as well - something that your child is done with but another child might still enjoy. Typically the items range in price from $1-$10+. I will pick up some things myself as well, focusing on novelty toys, popular toys, seasonal toys, candy/food items, activities, etc. If you have anything you'd be willing to donate or purchase, please feel free to send that into school at any time. I'll begin creating a pile in my office in preparation for the big day during the last week of school. Thank you to those of you who have already donated! The students and I appreciate your generosity!
