Twirly Birds

In this photo, we are outside trying out our Twirly Birds.

Here are a few upcoming events...
1. The BOOK FAIR is next week. Thursday it is opened until 7pm. If you send money with your child during the school day, please specify the book(s) you have decided to purchase, or books only (no erasers, posters, etc) (if that is your wish). This helps streamline the buying process.

2. ACES (All Children Exercising Simultaneously) will be on Wednesday, May 6. Please make sure your child wears sneakers and brings a waterbottle this day!

3. ARTS FESTIVAL is on Thursday, May 7 from 5:30-7. This is a great community event. Our new school song, PE photography project, and sculpture will all be unveiled. Find a piece of your child's artwork on the wall, have a snack or go to an art station.
