Last post of 2011/2012 school year!

 Dear Parents and Students,

         Thank you for a great year! I have really enjoyed all of the personalities in our classroom. We have had a lot of fun this year. I truly appreciate all of the assistance and support parents have given to us this year in 5^th grade. Thank you parents and students for all the very kind emails, cards, and comments that you have been so generous with over this past year.

          5^th graders, I know you will enjoy your 6^th grade year.

You have some wonderful teachers and great adventures coming up for you! I will miss you, but I know I’ll be seeing you around!

Happy Summer!

Mrs. Blowers

DUNES TRIP: A big thank you to our 3 parent organizers for this event: Katie Wettlauffer, Diana Smit, and Amy Osborn. This was a big job and we appreciate their efforts and the great day! Thanks to all of the parents who joined us on this trip! 

READ!

Several parents had the task of taking pictures throughout the day. These were then put on a CD for EVERY 5th grader! In addition, some of our parents were able to get a gift card from area restaurants for EVERY 5th grader! Your child has a small manila envelope that contains both of these items - so be careful when going through the backpacks!

Saugutuck Dunes and State Park Reminder

 Dear Parents and Fifth Graders,

This Friday, June 4, is our trip to the Saugatuck Dunes and State Park.   We will be leaving school around 8:50 a.m. and returning to school around 3:30 p.m.  As stated previously, Students are required to return to school on the bus. Here are some other things that you need to remember:

  

*dress in layers--the morning could be cool and the afternoon could be warm

 *wear comfortable shoes- we’ll be walking in sand and on a trail as well as playing games. Flip flops are NOT a good idea!

 *wear and bring sunscreen!

 *lunch is provided 

 * You may bring a camera-no other electronic devices, please.

 *bring a positive attitude and your good manners-

  Parents should expect to be addressed respectfully and should redirect students when needed.

 *be prepared for rain- jacket, umbrella, etc. if it looks necessary.

Have a great weekend!
