Newsletter for Friday, May 11, 2012

 

Hi All -

 

A few notes for the upcoming weeks:

 

  • Until further notice, it is a good idea to keep long hair tied up when at school.
  • During Camp Week on Wednesday 6/6 students should bring gardening/work gloves to our service day.
  • Please send your student with a full water bottle daily. As the weather warms kids need more liquid. I want to be sure one and all are well hydrated.
  • Please check the dates at the end of the newsletter for the final events of the year.

 

Hopefully the sun will continue to shine and you will all enjoy a warm weekend. Below is next week’s work. Best -Elizabeth
