News & Notes:
- Art in the Sky - Please help make sure your child is wearing an army green/forest green tshirt with no sayings on the back Thursday, June 1 for our Art in the Sky Event. We are excited to see how our art turns out!
- Geocaching - The last week of school we will be going on a Geocache Scavenger Hunt around Bennie and Champaign Park (more details will be coming). The Scavenger Hunt ends with a picnic at Champaign Park. We need 9 volunteers to lead students on the scavenger hunt. New this year, all volunteers must have a background check. The plan is to have the scavenger hunt on Wednesday, June 13 with a rain date of June 14. Please let me know if you are able to join us by May 25 so we can ensure all background checks can be completed before our event. I only have 2 volunteers at this time. Older siblings who are out of school make great geocache chaperones! Forms for background checks are below - or I can send them home with your child.
- Poetry Pal Field Trip - We will be heading to Barnes and Noble with our Poetry Pen Pals from Mrs. Smalley's class. This trip is an opportunity for the Kids in Room 107 to meet their pen pals. There is no cost for this field trip.
