Since we will be away from school on our field trip this Friday, May 19 we will move our weekly reading and spelling tests to Thursday this week.

For our trip to Naper Settlement, please be sure to bring lunch in a disposable paper bag labeled with name, and a drink in a disposable bottle. There will be no place to store lunchboxes or reusable water bottles after we eat. Students should come to school dressed in their St. Linus P.E. uniform and athletic shoes. Please check the weather forecast and bring outerwear if needed -- we will spend almost all of the day outside - rain or shine! Sunscreen should be applied at home before school. If you have permission to bring a camera, you will be responsible for holding it the entire day.
