F.Y.I.
It’s still a good idea to provide mud/wind pants for your child to wear on the playground. We go out first thing in the morning while the world is waking up and wet. Continue to provide indoor shoes or slippers for your child. We spend most of our time on the floor and the sand and dirt we track in makes for a dusty yucky carpet.
As you send in labeled zip lock bags of spring clothes we’ll send home the winter ones. Please remember to label each piece of clothing. Socks, undies, shorts, short-sleeved t-shirt, lightweight pants, long sleeved t-shirt, bathing suit.
Please apply bug/sunscreen to your child BEFORE you send them to school. We will only reapply sunscreen to TTH students who need it, after rest time. Send their sunscreen in a child-named and product labeled container.
PK Class Graduation Picnic for ALL PK STUDENTS and FAMILIES: PLEASE COME! Thursday June 10 @ 12:30-3:00 at the Shady Rill Picnic area. Pot-luck lunch followed by a graduation ceremony and cake (who wants to bake one?). Followed by free play fun. Bring toys, but NO FISHING POLES!!!! Bikes are great.
Rain date Friday June 11 @ 12:30. All children need a ride there. If you cannot transport your child please network with other parents. I’m happy to make suggestions and offer phone numbers.
