Kindergarten News for the week of May 19th – 23rd

Tuesday evening will be our big graduation!  It will be held at our high school auditorium at 6:00pm.  Students should report by 5:30 to the gym to dress in caps and gowns.  Children should again wear a white collared shirt.  Girls are reminded not to wear big hair accessories so the cap fits properly. 

Friday is our PTO carnival.  Please dress your child to be out all day.  Students should wear sneakers.   (No dresses or skirts for the girls please!)  They will be in bouncers /on bikes etc. Sunscreen should be applied at home.   The only lunch for that day is a deli hoagie.  There will be no alternates.

We will practice on Monday and Tuesday morning for graduation.  Please try to have your child at school on time for this so they can be ready to walk over after announcements with the class.  Please dress your child for the weather!   Comfortable shoes would be great!

We will have an ice cream party again on Wednesday because our class donated the most money for the bowling fundraiser that benefitted big brothers/big sisters.

Just 1 and ½ Mondays to go!
