Good Afternoon!

I hope everyone had an amazing weekend.

We are continuing through our Final Countdown-

please check that calendar daily for the fun events! 

We have another incredible week ahead,

please review the info below:

1) Tomorrow we will be having our Friendship Fruit Salad

for the Final Countdown activity. This will take place at snack time

and the students will receive a few pieces of the following fruit,

oranges, raspberries, pears, mixed fruit, cherries, pineapple,

blueberries, and one tube of yogurt. Please let us know if you

would rather your child NOT eat their fruit salad.

3) Tomorrow for Teacher Appreciation Week it is “Favorite

Sports Day”. Students may wear a shirt with their teacher's

favorite sports team  (for us it is- Mets, Yankees, Pirates,

Patriots, Giants, Volleyball). This is completely optional and not

required. If students do not have a shirt with these teams they

may wear any STS shirt WITH their regular uniform bottoms

(skorts/shorts/pants). As per Mr. Dunnigan, it is not a full dress

down or TAG day.

It will be split into two sessions with Kindergarten-Fourth Grade

performing at 6:30 pm. K-4 students will be required to be at

school no later than 6:15 pm that evening. Students are asked to

dress in their “Sunday Seasonal Best”. After 4th grade performs,

K-4 students will be escorted back to their classrooms (we will be

meeting in grade 2 again just like Christmas Concert) and they

must be picked up by parents there. You are free to leave at that

time after picking up your child. The band will perform at 7:30

and then 5th-8th grade following at 7:45.

students with a Kona Ice Treat. ALL students must have a

Week of May 1st

Good Afternoon & Happy May!

Can you believe we are officially in our LAST full month of school?!

I sure can’t, time is flying by! 🙁Even though time is flying by,

we have so much exciting and busy events ahead to look forward

to! 

Please review the following information carefully:

1) Tomorrow officially begins our Kindergarten “Final Countdown!”

the last 26 days of school, with a themed alphabet letter activity

each day. A bright pink calendar is going home today in homework

folders that will list each day & the theme. 

Please hang this somewhere at home where you & your child can

review it every day to see what your child may need to

bring/do/wear. I will also send reminders throughout the week if

needed, as some days (such as this Thursday, letter C for camping)

requires students to dress down. 

We are looking for some assistance if possible for some of the

Final Countdown activities. If you are interested in helping us,

please see the Sign Up link below.

(Please note our BIGGEST event is on Letter T- Tuesday, May

30th with our TERRIFIC surprise & I will be sending an email out

to room moms & volunteers with this information soon!) 

2) We will be celebrating our amazing Mrs. Nowel & her

birthday this Friday by tying it into our Final Countdown

with a SURPRISE “Donut & Dessert Party!” In your child’s

homework folder, hidden behind the pink calendar, you will

see a “Decorate a Donut” paper for Mrs. Nowel. Please have

your child work on this for her by designing and decorating

the donut as colorful as they’d like and writing a message

to her. Please return these to me NO LATER than Thursday

so I can assemble them as a gift for her. Thank you in advance! 

3) Field Day T-Shirt orders are due online by tomorrow
