Week 32

It has been quite a transition getting back into the groove after spring break!  But to get the kids focused and back on track, we are dangling our spring field trip like a carrot in front of their faces :)  We have planned a trip to Thompson Farms for Thursday, May 10th.  The cost per child is $10, which covers the ticket price plus a portion of our transportation.  The school has been kind enough to afford the remaining transportation cost in order to keep our per child ticket price down.  We will be sending out a permission slip for you to sign that will need to be returned with the money.

With much excitement, I want everyone to know that we will be in our new school starting the 2012-2013 school year!  We have purchased the old Pee Dee Elementary out on Hwy 378 and are currently in the midst of renovating the property.  We will have SOOOOO much space!!!  Yeah!!!!  Stay tuned for more details on that.

End of year DIBELS assessments will take place towards the end of May.  We are shooting for the week of May 21st, but will let you know when we have a concrete date.  Please, please, please be working with your child on weekly concepts so that they are being reinforced at home.  This will also help keep the material fresh in their minds as the DIBELS date approaches.

Our spring festival is this Saturday!  You do not want to miss it.  Fabulous items have been donated for our silent auction as well as our gift baskets which will be auctioned off.  There will be inflatables, games, face painting (come see me there), hair painting - you name it.  The festival will take place behind the school from 11 am to 2 pm.  Buy advanced tickets at the school!

Jordan Moultrie is the Student of the Week this week.  Congratulations to him for a great week and for working hard to set a great example for the class.
