Better Together: SuperGames!

We are busy preparing for our end-of-year activities and are excited to have SuperGames again this year! On Wednesday, May 8th, we hope to have a fun-filled day on the Pinney fields! This event will proceed rain or shine (as long as there are no thunderstorms). All students will rotate through 14 stations utilizing the schedule below.

Morning Session 9:30-11:50
AM Kindergarten
1st Grade
2nd Grade
3rd Grade (Foglietti, Blake)

Afternoon Session 12:40-3:00
PM Kindergarten
3rd Grade (Mooi, Harvey, Kopchak)
4th Grade
5th Grade

In order to make this day run smoothly, we need your help! Please use the button below to sign up for volunteer opportunities.

Again this year, students will eat a picnic-style lunch with their class. We are asking that students bring a sack lunch to be eaten outside with their class. If you would rather purchase a sack lunch from the cafeteria, please use the button below. School lunch orders are due by Friday, April 26.

Students must wear tennis shoes for SuperGames. We encourage all students to wear their respective team colors on May 10th. They are also encouraged to WEAR SUNSCREEN and bring a LABELED WATER BOTTLE. There is a water station, so an extra set of clothes may be a good idea ;)

TEAM COLORS:
Kdg - Yellow
1st - Black
2nd – Green
3rd - Blue
4th - Red
5th - Gray

Take Responsibility: April and May Guidance Lessons

As the summer quickly approaches, we have been spending our April and May guidance time working on safety and health for grades K-5. We just finished up the abuse prevention curriculum for grades K-5. Additionally all grades are having safety lessons with regard to drugs and medicine in our world. In May, K and 1 are going to have a water safety presentation by the Dublin lifeguards. Grades 3 and 4 are focusing on careers. 5th graders are having multiple presentations on middle school readiness.

Have a wonderful spring/summer!
