Week 34

Week 34: May 15-19

NWEA

Students will take the math portion on Wednesday, May 17.


Kiwanis Park Day

First Grade will be taking our trip to Kiwanis on June 6.  Parents are welcome to join us.  We will leave Lincoln around 8:45am, walk to the park, and return by 11:30am. Teachers will provide snacks and water for those who forget their water bottles. We are looking for someone to transport snacks and water from the school to the park in their vehicle.  If you can help please let your child’s teacher know. 



Supplies reminder

By May 22, there are two things we’re asking each family to donate: 

  1. $2 for pizza to have on one of the days

  2. A t-shirt that we can tie dye (Shhhhh! This is intended to be a surprise!)


Volunteers

We will need assistance with the tie dye operation.  This will occur at the start of the day on June 1 on the blacktop. Please sign up using this link to let us know you can help out that day.  Also included on the link is a list of supplies we would love to have donated for various activities.  Thanks for considering!
