From Generation to Generation

Oh my heart! Once our grandparents navigated the parking lot past our seniors celebrating their final day, everything about this morning was so special! Thank you for planning, accommodating and implementing an AMAZING Grandparents Day celebration! I can't wait for the kindergarten Mother's Day Spectacular tomorrow!!! What a beautiful closing to our school year! 

Ordering Details from Carla:

Here are some ordering details for the 2022-23 school year.   As a reminder, we use the estimate of around $15 per student in your all day K-5 classroom.  (In the past it was $10 for misc. supplies, and $5 for literacy items.  We are generalizing and saying $15)

                    

Supply Orders

We are going to change things up a bit.  We will continue to use School Specialty, but also have the option of ordering from Amazon. Do a little research on items you will need.  We can get great pricing on School Specialty items, but sometimes Amazon can beat it.  You pick which works best for you!

All our field day activities will be around the beach pond at Sassafras Ridge.  We will be doing group game stations rotating around the pond.  Upon arrival you will find your “home base” to leave water bottles and items brought along. Please bring your megaphone and first aid kits along. We will greet you with fun music, say a welcome and prayer and then head to the first station! Each station will have a parent volunteer organizing the activity with your group.  (attached is a schedule for the day)

 

Our activities are:

-corn hole, sponge toss, tug of war, parachute, long jump/javelin throw, fishing and capture the flag!

 

Please let us know if you have any questions leading up to the event!
