Dear Parents,

Last week was quite a busy one but I was so proud of the kids for May Procession and our first grade Mass! They did such a great job! Grandparents/Special Friends day was great too! It was so nice meeting everyone! This week will be a short one but we still have a lot going on! Please be sure to read all of the reminders:

- This week we will start our last story of the year. We will have a spelling and reading test on this story next Friday 6/2 and it will count as the reading exam. 

- A packet with the exam schedule and study guides will be sent home next week! These study guides can STAY HOME and are for you to complete and review with your child. We will be completing a set in school  and they will be sent home when they are completed.

- No school Thursday, 5/25 through Monday, 5/29! 

- Donuts with Dads/Dudes is planned for Tuesday, June 6th at 8:30 am in the recess yard.  Each child gets to invite their dad (or a "dude" if their dad can't make it) for coffee and donuts and some quality time! Dads, grandparents, uncles, close friends are all considered dudes :). An invitation will be sent home in your child's home folder soon!
