Dear Parents,

Happy Thursday!!! I hope your week has gone well!

Language Arts- They took their Unit 5 test this week. Tomorrow we will begin our next story. They are also going to be trying out for their parts in our annual “The Baker’s Neighbor” play. I have scheduled this for next Friday at 2:!5 in our gym. They will be asking you for possible props and costume help. Please do not go out and buy anything!!! The play is about 10 minutes in length. I sent home a flyer in your child’s folder as well.

Young Writer’s Conference is set for April 17. We didn’t go last year due to the tornado. The 5^th graders going this year will be Payton Burg, Beau Thompson, and Kara Kinsella. I will be going with the kids this year.

Lap-A-Thon-Thursday, April 18 is the Lap-a-Thon. Students should bring a water bottle and a possible second pair of shoes…sometimes it is very muddy over there. They can wear their shorts or sweatpants to run. They can wear headsets and play music if they like during their run.  If it is raining, I am guessing we will have a rain date set.

Clean-Up Day- We are planning once again to clean up the school grounds on Friday, April 19. If you have a rake that would be great! Make sure to put your name on it. You can leave it by the office. If your kids have work gloves, they should bring those to school as well. The 5^th graders usually rake along the fence line and up by Father Halbur’s home. IF it rains, I am sure we won’t be doing it.

I hope you have a great weekend!  Hopefully it will be nice outside!!!

God Bless,

Miss Surma
