Tuesday, May 12th - Flower Crafts from Students
  • Flower craft from students - students will bring this craft home in backpacks the week before for a home project.  Students will cut out and glue the flower craft and attach to the provided lollipop stick.  We'd like to ask students to cut a small circle picture of themselves to put on the front of the flower.  The back of the flower may be used for a note if your child wishes to write one.  If you don't have a picture handy, no worries, just add a small note to the front of the flower instead or draw a picture for your teacher.  Each student will bring home two flower crafts, one for their teacher and one for another teacher/staff member of their choice.  They may make as many as they desire using additional paper at home.  Please have them bring to school on Tuesday.  At school, they will stick these flowers into a special vase created for the flowers.  If your child forgets to bring their craft on Tuesday, no worries, have them bring it the next day.
  • Mailbox Treat provided by Hospitality Committee - Theme - "Thanks for making me one smart cookie."


Wednesday, May 13th - Appreciation Cards from Students
  • Appreciation card from students - Cards will be coming home the week before in backpacks for kids to complete at home.  Students should cut cards out, fold along the dotten line, and write a note of appreciation to their teacher inside.  This note could include what the student is most thankful for or have enjoyed learning the most this year or just a special note to say thanks.  They can also write a poem or draw a picture for their teachers.  These should be handed to their teachers as they arrive to school on Wednesday.  Each child will bring home 2 cards, one for their teacher and a second for another teacher/staff member of their choice.  You may make copies for additional cards as your child desires.  If your child forgets to bring this on Wednesday, no worries, have them bring it the next day.
