HOME & SCHOOL – There is a H & S meeting
scheduled for this Tuesday, April 10. There will be a carry in dinner at 6:30
pm, with the meeting beginning at 7:00 pm. All attending will receive a bonus
dress down pass for their child. Come find out what’s happening in your child’s
classroom and school!
READING COUNTS ends Tuesday, April 24th.
Your child must have reached 200 points by this date in order to attend the R.
C. trip. The date for the trip is set for Tuesday, May 8th. We will
be going to the Wonders of Wildlife Adventure Aquarium (Bass Pro) in
Springfield, MO by bus. Parents are invited to go along and may transport their
own child/ren, and ONLY their own child/ren, and then sign in at the aquarium. Only
teachers and students will ride the bus. Only students, staff, parents may
attend this trip – sorry – no younger siblings. Other plans are being
finalized. We do know that the cost for each child will be $10 for aquarium and
have not determined how much of that cost will be passed on to parent. Also,
parents’ admittance fee will be approximately $27 (plus tax?) and will need to
be paid at the entrance. This is a 10% reduction on the normal rate of $29.95.
More details to follow. In addition to the trip, your child receives one
entrance into the class drawing for a gift card for every 25 points over 200
that they earn.
STUDENTS not attending the Reading Counts trip
will remain at school, under the supervision of a classroom teacher, and do
school work, as a normal day.
TRAFFIC FLOW/PICK-UP/DROP-OFF: If you are
bringing students in to school, or if you wish to enter the school building, please do not park in the drop-off line in
the mornings. Please park in the parking lot, and walk in. Failure to do so
results in traffic tie-ups. Also, remember, all vehicles are to EXIT VIA THE
CEMETERY ROAD. Thank you for abiding by these policies.
GOOD LUCK to the students attending the Spelling Bee at
St. Martin’s School this Tuesday! We are all rooting for you! We will let you
know results in next week’s notes.
TRACK NEWS: Our newly formed track team gave
it their all at the track meet on Wednesday at Lewis & Clark. It is all a

way to start the season team! Team members are Deanna Backes, Emma Goetz,
Grayson Koetting, Zachary Vandike, Phoebe Whittle, Junior Wilson, Aly Haeffner,
Aliyah Talledo, & Ayden Schulte. Keep up the spirit!
BABY CHICKS! The 2nd, 3rd,
and 4th graders have eggs incubating in their classrooms, so that
they may witness first-hand, the hatching of baby chicks. This program is
offered to our classrooms each year through the Miller County Extension Office.
Students in these grades will get a chance to bring home a chick, with parent permission.
So fun!
