Thank you for everything that you have done for our class this year.  Please come to the Volunteer Tea in Thor Hall on Wednesday, May 25th, from 1-2:30 pm.

Thank you so much for coming out to see all your child’s hard work this year.  They love showing off their projects!  I will be putting all the work together into their class books and will send them home in June.

We are heading out soon on our next field trip adventure!  Don’t forget to pack a lunch for your child and have them wear comfortable shoes.  Our chaperones for this trip are from the families of Bryson, Chase, Ivy, Kohana, Luci, Madelynn, Olivia, and Xavier.  We can still bring 2 more chaperones if any parent is interested and has been fingerprinted.

***Chaperones- please see the chaperone agreement form sent home that you need to sign and return.

***Parents meeting us there- We are leaving Valhalla about 9:00 am if you would like to follow the bus or you can meet us in the top parking lot of the zoo.
