1. Scholastic Book Fair
Mrs. Burkholder reports SLE had another successful book fair, this years totals topped that of last spring. What is so wonderful about this is money earned during the fair goes to buying books for the SLE library. The book selection was excellent this time and if you did not get a chance to shop and still would like to, the online fair is open until 4/24/18. You can access the SLE Book Fair online page by clicking HERE.
Earlier this week it was only sunshine in the forecast but now there is a little chance of rain. Keep your fingers crossed that it stays dry from 10-1, but please prepare your child for being out side on Monday. Here are a few additional reminders....
- While at the park, we will eat a picnic lunch in the picnic area. There will be no place to buy lunch, they must bring a bagged lunch. (Unless you ordered a brown bag lunch from the cafeteria) Lunch should be either disposable or they must carry with them the whole day.
- Students should also bring a bookbag(or smaller backpack) with sunscreen (please apply some before going to school), filled water bottle, and a towel (for picnic lunch - there are very few tables and most will eat on the ground).
3. AIR finished BUT school is not over!.
Students did an excellent job the last two weeks taking the Ohio AIR tests. The tests are long and require the students to focus and then be quiet while others finish during the 75-90 minute testing blocks. This is not always easy for 4th graders and they did an awesome job! We are proud of them but remind them too that those tests were a state requirement and school at SLE is not over until May 22nd. We will attempt to stay on course with routines and behaviors despite many end of the year interruptions. There are still things to learn! Thank you for your continued support in keeping your child focused and on task.
4. Etiquette
The annual 4th grade Etiquette Lunch at River's Bend is scheduled for Friday, May 11. The invitation went home today so that you can plan. The students will need to dress nice that day. Boys should wear a collared shirt and pants that are not jeans or sports pants. Girls should wear dresses, skirt outfits or a nice outfit with pants. T-shirts and sports wear are not appropriate for this event. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your child's teacher. 5. ALL STUDENT ART SHOW AND SALE
