End of Year Class Party

Let's Celebrate!

We have had a great year together and it is time to celebrate our learning and growth in the 3rd grade.

When:

• Friday, May 30th
• Our party will begin at around 10:00 (depending on the length of the school talent showcase).  

What: 

• We will celebrate each of our individual talents by doing a one-minute talent show. Each student is encouraged to be prepared to share a talent for one minute.  It may be dancing, playing a musical instrument, singing, rapping, tricks...something fun that defines the student. 
• Class awards presented by Mrs. Hill. We will roll out the red carpet (butcher paper) and each student will receive an award and take a walk down the red carpet.
• Autograph T-Shirts: Please send a t-shirt that is okay to be marked up with sharpie.  As a keepsake from our year together we will do autograph t-shirts.I suggested a uniform shirt that is no-longer usable due to stains or purchase an inexpensive white t-shirt.  Please send the shirt with a piece of cardboard tucked inside the shirt so that the t-shirt may be passed from friend to friend to sign with a sharpie. This will prevent the marker from bleeding through to the other side. PLEASE DO NOT WEAR THE SHIRT THAT DAY! 
• Popsicles: We will end the day on a cool note as we enjoy a popsicle in the sun with one another.

Parents are welcome to join us during our celebration.  Please RSVP via email so that I may bring enough popsicles for everyone.
