Dear Parents,
    We have jumped into SAGE testing, and it’s looking good so far.  Remember that a good night’s sleep, a healthy breakfast, and a reassuring word will help them more than anything else. Last Friday, every child was given a copy of our Great American Program script, so s/he can begin memorizing.  Please let us know if you are having trouble finding a costume, so we can help you look. Students need to bring in costumes on Wed., May 9 for a costume check.
    Encourage your child to keep reading at home.  Remember, the last day for book reports (Mrs. Little/Mrs. Williams class), and reading journals (Mrs. Payne class) is Friday, May 11. Mrs. Payne’s class can turn in their reading journals any time they finish reading a book.  Also, Mrs. Payne’s students have only one more week to earn the Patriot Award.
The Color Run is this Thursday at 2:00.  Be sure your child is wearing a light colored shirt and pants and shoes that can get color dust on them.  Glasses and bandanas are for sale tomorrow before and after school for $2.oo each.
    Remember the white cotton t-shirt (new or old), for Mrs. Davis’ end of year art activity.  The t-shirt is due by May 4.
We were sorry to hear that Mrs. Neumann’s father passed away this past week. However, she is back teaching orchestra, and will carry on with the orchestra performance on May 4 at 2:00. 
This year is quickly coming to an end!  Thanks for your support in and out of the classroom!               
Mrs. Payne, Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Little
