CONGRATULATIONS to the three students who are graduating from 8th grade this Saturday evening. They are Matthew Beck, Jordan Bittle, & Grace Groose. We congratulate you and wish you the very best. We will miss you, and we will continue to pray for you as you continue on in your education. Good luck to all of you!

THE AMAZING RACE! For our Field Day, on May 16th, students will be participating in the Amazing Race in the morning. It promises to be great fun for all and we are excited about it! However, to put on these events for the kids, we do need our volunteers! If you are able to help out that morning, please send a note or call the office. We thank Tracey B & Wendy W. for volunteering. Many thanks to Brittany & Marie Massman, who have worked very hard to get this race figured out. It took a lot of time and planning and we all appreciate it very much!

DONATIONS NEEDED: Prizes for students as they cross the finish line of “The Amazing Race’. We have 65 students. Examples of small items needed – trinkets, bracelets, bouncy balls, small dinosaurs, candy…basically any small items we can bag up in treat bags. Please send in any items by Tuesday. Thank you!

PICNIC LUNCH on Thursday will be grilled hamburgers/hot dogs, chips, bananas, rice-krispie treat, soda/drink pouch/milk.

ALL SCHOOL BILLS must be paid IN FULL for your child to receive their final grade cards/diplomas, as well as for the transfer of any academic records. If you still owe for anything, you will find notice in today’s folder. (The only exception would be for any child who used drop in extended care services in May. In that case, please call the school office to figure final amounts due.)
