Dr. Marten’s Message…
Field Day is tomorrow—as a reminder, K-2 will be 9:00 am-11:20 am. Grades 3-5 will
be in the afternoon from 1:10 pm-3:30 pm. Students may purchase pizza from the kitchen, or
they may bring a sack lunch. Since Field Day is part of our emphasis on healthy lifestyles and
fitness, we are requesting that if your child brings their lunch that it is a sack lunch, rather than
fast food and soda. Thank you for your cooperation.
The official last day of school is Thursday, May 28. It will be a normal school day,
with dismissal at 3:45. Fifth grade parents—be sure to come join us as we watch our fifth grade
students exit the building with their annual “Red Carpet Walk”. Bring your cameras, and enjoy
this special time with your child.
On the last day of school, we will also have an all-school picnic. All students will eat
outside from 11:40 am-12:00 pm. Recess times will be: K-1 recess 12:10 pm-12:30 pm; Grades
2-3 recess 12:30 pm-12:50 pm; Grades 4-5 recess from 12:50 pm-1:10 pm.
Our Family Fun Nights were a great success. We appreciate Anne/Kevin Hughes and
Amanda/Joel Klemm for organizing this fun event. A big thank you to Fat Brain Toys for donating games to our school.
There are reminders in this newsletter about medications, lunch accounts, library fees,
etc. Please refer to the next page for more information.
Have a great weekend.
Dr. Marten
