- Don't forget to send a snack and water bottle each day (make sure these are both labeled with your child's name) .

- Make sure to include napkins and utensils with your child's lunch.

- Don't forget to send in a rest time towel on Monday.

- Grandpersons' Day is on Friday, May 18th.  Remember:

* Drop of between 7:30 and 8:00 at the Palisades Country Club.

* Students should wear their formal Chapel uniforms and do not need to bring a bookbag, snack, or folder.

* Chapel will start at 8:00.  Please be on time.  Students will sit with their class and parents and grandpersons will sit in the audience.

* After Chapel we will ride the bus back to school and parents and grandpersons will drive back and meet us in the classroom.

* We will do a special activity in the classroom.  If you have more than one child you can rotate to the different classrooms.  If you will be going to an older child's classroom first please prepare your child for this because they can get worried when they don't see you right away.

* After the activity students may leave with their parents and grandpersons to go outside to the the reception, have their picture taken, and visit the book fair.

*Please let me know if your child will not be leaving with their grandperson.  Also, make sure you prepare your child that they will be staying while most of the other children will be going home.  Thank you!

- We will be taking a field trip on Tuesday, May 15th to Miller Farms to pick strawberries and enjoy strawberry smoothies.  Thank you to Mrs. Bouley and Mrs. Kneas for volunteering to help drive us there!  We will leave at 9:30 am and return around 11:15 or 11:30 am.  The children will be able to pick a quart of strawberries and the cost will be included in the field trip.  However, if you would like to go with us and pick your own quart of strawberries, the cost will be $6.00.  It would be helpful if you could bring cash to pay.  If you would still like to go you are more than welcome to come with us!  Please email me and let me know if you are interested!  This will be a great field trip to wrap up our year with and will coordinate perfectly with our study of plants.

- Don't forget to review the events calendar under the parents tab on our website so that you can be aware of all upcoming events at the school.  Also, a school-wide communication email will be sent to you each Monday to tell you about all of the events for the week here at PES.  Please make sure to read it so you will know what is going on!

- We are still  participating in the Scholastc Book Clubs book ordering program.   Online ordering is super easy. Go to www.scholastic.com/bookclubs to get started.  Our classroom activation code is KDHLL.  Thank you!

Mystery Readers:

Calling all mystery readers!  We need a few more parents to volunteer their time on Wednesday afternoons from 2:20 pm to 2:35 pm.  It's easy!  All you have to do is bring 2 or 3 of your child's favorite books to read to the class.  We have 1 more quarter to go and would love to have all the parents come at least one time during the year if your schedule will allow you to.  Please email me today to schedule one Wednesday afternoon that will work for you!  Thank you!

Thank you!
