Dear Parents, It is hard to believe that the school year is over in less than three weeks.  As usual, our classroom is bustling with activity until the last day of school.  Please take note of the following activities and deadlines for our publishing projects: Class Yearbook Our student editors are almost finished with our classroom yearbook and will send it to the printer this Friday!  It will be a 75 page full color book with photos of the children's work and activities.  Each student chose their own photos and work for a two page layout and other teams of editors put together spreads on other topics in the classroom.  It is always a pleasure to watch our students finish their own beautiful pages of the work that they are most proud of. The cost of the yearbook is $20.  We will send out order forms tomorrow. Hardcover Books Thank you to those who have brought in covers to bind our books.  Students are expected to have their stories typed by Friday. As the stories

Dear Parents, Now that we are finished testing, the weeks seem to be speeding by a little too quickly.  Please take careful note of the following upcoming activities and changes to some of them. Also, we have transferred the important dates to the enclosed calendar. Luau Change Due to a schedule change with the people performing at our Upper Elementary Luau, we had to change the Luau to: Friday, May 18th 2018 from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM. We will need help with set-up and tear-down and clean-up. Also, we still need people to volunteer to help organize and participate in committees such as, table committee, mayonnaise and condiments committee, people to help serve, people to help take tickets and a few other labor-type committees are needed. I will be working with Marlene to create an online sign up sheet for these items. We are happy to issue refunds for those who have purchased tickets and unable to make the new date.
