Let's Get Fancy!

Our Kindergarten Art Gala is a FANCY event for all of our Kindergarten Friends and their families!  The children are encouraged to dress-up fancy (as they say!) for the gala.  All family members, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, and neighbors are invited to attend our Art Gala on Tuesday, March 5th at the Performing Arts Center which is located at the high school.  You may enter the doors on the corner of Lake and Bagley.  The Art Gala is from 6:00-7:30 and it will be an open house format so come when it works best for your family.  We will be showcasing one very special piece of art work that your child has painted.  All 3 kindergarten classes will be in attendance that evening as well.  We will be taking photographs of each family that evening as well as showing a running slide show of all of the preparations of getting ready for our BIG event.  We look forward to seeing everyone on March 5th!

We are in need of help for various things to make this night a night to remember!  You will notice that I need help the day before the Art Gala to help me hang all of the paintings after school.  You are welcome to bring your children because I know I will:)  I could use help 1 hour before the Art Gala to do a final set-up and I am also in need of people to help me clean up after the Art Gala (take down paintings, load my car, clean up the snack table, etc.).  Last year, it was a quick job because I had so many parent volunteers to help me.  I am also in need of donations of water, cookies, and pretzels.  Please check out the SIGN-UP GENIUS link if you have not already done so...I appreciate it!!!!

Thank you!

Winter Wear

Please continue to send snow pants, boots, etc. every day.  Even if we are lucky enough to have some warm weather, our playground will be very wet.  I will have children wear snow pants on wet days to keep their clothes dry. 

No School Feb. 20, 21, and 22

Remember that we do not have school Wednesday-Friday this week.  Teachers will be participating in a district wide professional development conference on Wednesday and Thursday.
