Our Week Ahead: May 14-18

I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day (despite the rain!).  Grandpersons' Day is this Friday (5/18)!  This is a fun day for students, grandparents, and grandpersons!  Here are a few details about Friday:

*Drop off 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 book bag, snack, or folder.

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

*After Chapel we will ride the bus back to school.  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 different classrooms.

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

*Students are allowed to leave with parents and grandpersons earlier than 12:00.  Dismissal for all students is 12:00.
