Thursday, June 14th:
NO EARLY DISMISSAL. This is a "regular schedule" day.
Field Day- look for an email from your teacher with more details and your grade level color to wear on Thursday. Note- activities will be taking place on the North Field in the afternoon, so a full water bottle and sunscreen are a must. A baseball cap would be a good idea too.
Friday, June 15th:
Last day of school! 8:30am start and 10:30am Dismissal. (no lunch!)
Note- parking for pickup is CRAZY! Leave plenty of time.
5th Grade Promotion begins at 8:30am on Friday, in the North MPR. Please leave lots of time for finding a parking spot. The ceremony ends around 10am with plenty of time for hugs, photo ops and refreshments.
HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!

THE NORTH ART SHOW WAS A HUGE SUCESS!
Thank you to our Art in Action co-chairs and miracle-workers, Shawna Droese, Sheila Druskin and Tina McCutcheon. Together they organized more than 100 Art in Action lessons in our classrooms this year! Students had the opportunity to get creative while sketching, painting, drawing, working with clay, wire and paper mache. Thanks to all of the parent Docents and Assistants that made these lessons come to life. At the unbelievable Art Show, those creative and artistic pieces were displayed in a setting you had to see to believe! A bakery, a magic shop, and a black light glow gallery were just a few ways student art was displayed for all to view and enjoy.

STEAM FAIR WAS AMAZING!
Thank you to the STEAM Leadership Team for planning and producing an EPIC night of innovation! Over 180 students participated and our community came together to celebrate Science, Technology, Engineering, Art/Design and Math!
