5/18/2012 Dear Panther Parents, Can you believe we have almost completed the school year? For me this is bittersweet. I am very impressed with the progress all of my students have made, especially in reading. However I do not want the school year to end. I can hardly believe I’ve known your students for over 160 days. I have really enjoyed getting to know them and you. I am also eager for our end of the year activities which include our overnight party (May 24th), our trip to the aviation museum (May 31st) and the spring fling (with another lip sync)! Below are some end of the year requests as I wish to leave some of our fundraising money for the new teacher who arrives in the Fall. Students will be bringing home their last homework packets so they will be bulkier than the others. Please have them pace themselves (a couple pages a night is a good idea). Call or text with any questions. Best, Rebecca P.S. On Thursday, May 24th I would like students to arrive at school at 6:00 pm. A supply list will go home soon. Requests Snacks for sleepover and field trip Suggestions: carrots and other raw vegetables, pretzels, popcorn, candy, snack bars, chips, nuts, raisins, granola and other cereals, string cheese, juice boxes, paper plates, cups and plastic utensils.
