Notes from the Teacher:


-Our AR picnic is Friday, May 20.  Volunteers are needed to help supervise the children. The buses will pick the students up at 8:30 at the K-3 Campus and we will return to school at 1:00. Parents attending the picnic may check students out at the park by going to the First Aid Shelter and “signing” them out.  You will also need to reserve a lunch to eat.  A letter will be sent out Monday.  If you would like to go with us to the park, please fill out the form on the letter and return it to me.  Thank you in advance for your help! It should be a day of fun for everyone!  J
