If you love Carnivals and want to be a part of the Carnival Planning Committee, we are meeting this Friday, April 20th at 6:00 pm. Pizza will be available and you may bring your children. All parents are welcome and there is still lots for you to help out with. We would love to involve any and all parents so don’t be shy if you’ve never planned a Carnival before.

Wednesday, 4-18-12

Tomorrow the new HRP reading is due.  Even though your child may not have completed a book they should note what has been read for this past week on their new log sheet.  I will be collecting them each week to keep students on track.  They should be reading 2 classics before reading a series.

Friday is our field trip to Busch Gardens.  A few reminders:
-Be at school by 8:15
-Clear water bottles and "non-sticky" snacks are allowed for the bus ride.
-NO CELL PHONES!
-Money is needed for lunches.
-Camera or paper needed for picture journal.
-Plan to leave backpacks at home.  Students and parents will not be permitted back into the building when we return from the trip.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
