It is important to note our activities after the service project:
– Soak a Senior (bring funds)
– Choice of activities, one of which is water games so bringing a change of clothes would be appropriate
– Treat provided by the Student Association

My apologies for the additional email.

Hi Families,

Just a reminder about our service day tomorrow where we will be picking up garbage along the highway between our school and town. Through this we build teamwork and enjoy being part of a group effort to make a significant difference in beautifying our community.

It looks like it will be a warm day. Please ensure your child has:
– Hat
– Sunscreen (we will have some available for re-applications)
– Good footwear
– Water bottle (to be carried if possible, or put in a support vehicle)
– Optional: work type gloves

We will have vests, garbage bags, and disposable gloves. Students will be working in teams, along with an adult, and together, our section of highway will be looking much better by tomorrow afternoon!

Thank you for your support of this initiative of learning and giving back.

Warmly,
Mrs. Atherton

Hello Families,

The energy in our building is ramping up as the warm weather continues. We are enjoying spring and taking activities outside when possible. We encourage you and your children to enjoy the outdoors as well during this lovely weather!

Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Atherton

This Coming Week

• Thu May 28 – Garbage pick-up & Soak a Senior
• Mon Jun 1 – No School for Non-Instructional Day

Upcoming Events

• June 2 – Scholastic orders due
• June 19 – Graduation
• June 23 – Awards (morning) & Class parties
• June 24 – Lake Day & Last day of school

Good to Know

• Garbage pickup is Thursday and we love to have parent/volunteer assistance. We participate in garbage pickup because caring for our community is part of who we are. When students help clean our shared spaces, they learn responsibility, teamwork, and respect for God’s creation. Small actions make a big difference, and we’re proud to do our part. Let one of our staff know if you’re able to help. Many hands make light work!
• Plans are in the works for end of the year field trips. Please watch for permission slips coming home.
• We are interviewing for Education Assistants and Janitorial support for next year. Please let us know if you would like to be considered.

Shout Outs

• To Albert Nichols for assisting with time and equipment to deal with our monetary recycling.
• To Norm Bunker for assisting with our garbage.
• To our regular volunteers who come in to read, cook, or help in other ways around the school.

Verse of the Week – Isaiah 26:3-4

"You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you! Trust in the Lord always, for the Lord God is the eternal Rock."

This verse reminds us that peace comes from trusting deeply.

Hi Families,

It’s been a busy week of activities and we are grateful for a long weekend! We hope you enjoy the extra day this weekend. We look forward to seeing everyone back on Tuesday!
