A MESSAGE FROM MRS. YOUNGBLOOD
The children have returned from spring break rested and ready to complete
their grade level expectations. As the time changes this weekend,
resulting in longer daylight hours, we often find that children do not get
enough rest and become less productive in school. I would like to take
this opportunity to encourage families to keep early bedtimes and
consistent routines for their children during these springtime months. The
result will be happier, well-behaved children who are able to be successful
with their schoolwork.
One of our biggest evenings of the year will be held on April 19. Please
plan to come for the Open House, Pizza Dinner, Silent Auction, Book Fair
and Science Fair! Your children are looking forward to being hosts that
evening and showing you what they have been working on throughout the
school year. Thank you for your support of this event!
SCIENCE FAIR
Please remember that projects are due on April 18 and the judging will be
held on April 19. For convenience to parents, we are offering backboards
for sale at a cost of $5.00. All projects will be available for viewing at
our Open House on April 19.
SPRING OPEN HOUSE
Please mark your calendars for the evening of April 19 from 5:30 – 7:00
PM. The evening will be full of great activities: Pizza Dinner, Open
House in classrooms, Book Fair in the Media Center, viewing of Science Fair
projects in the Cafeteria, and our annual Silent Auction. This promises to
be a great family event. We look forward to sharing a wonderful evening
with our families!
TIME CHANGE – SPRING FORWARD
This is a reminder that daylight savings time begins on Sunday, April 3.
Please remember to set your clocks ahead one hour on Saturday night.
