Dear Families,


We had a fantastic week at Palmer River! Our students were engaged, kind, and full of energy as we head into the final stretch of the school year.


Please remember that there is no school on Thursday, June 19th in observance of the Juneteenth holiday.


Also, a reminder that Field Day is this Monday! Please be sure your child comes to school dressed for outdoor activities and brings a water bottle. Sunscreen, a hat, and comfortable footwear are also recommended. It’s sure to be a fun and active day for everyone!


Wishing you and your family a wonderful weekend as we head into the last full week of school!


Sincerely,


Mrs. Kristine Kefor, Principal

As we approach the end of the school year, we kindly ask that you take a moment to check our Lost and Found for any missing items. Our collection of jackets, lunch boxes, water bottles, and other personal belongings has grown throughout the year, and we’d love to see these items returned to their rightful owners.


Please note: Any unclaimed items remaining after June 23rd will be donated to a local charitable organization.


We appreciate your support in helping us tidy up and ensure nothing gets left behind before summer vacation begins!
