Newletter, April 28 - May 2

We are in great need of TISSUES in our classroom!

Wednesday is half-day and Hat Day!
Looking Ahead:
  • Field Trip is Friday, May 2nd. Friday uniforms or regular uniforms.
  • Knowledge-A-Thon is coming soon.  Due to the field trip being on May 2nd, 3rd graders will do their knowledge-a-thon on May 6th. Volunteers are needed in order to have a successful event.  Please see the information and link at the bottom of this post.

Spring Music Concert:

Save the Date! 
The ALA Spring Concert is next week. There will be two performances:  Tuesday, May 6 will be for students whose last name begins with any letter from A - L, and Wednesday, May 7 will be for students with last names
beginning with a letter between M - Z.  
Two benefits:  1. We should be able to accommodate all our guests inside the cafenasium.  2.  If your assigned night doesn't work for you, please come the other night!

Concert Dress:  ALA school uniforms
