Important Notes and Reminders

• Pictures: We are creating a foldable to go with our memoir writing unit. The kids need to bring two pictures of themselves for their foldable. One picture needs to be of their early years (birth-kindergarten), and the other needs to be a current picture of themselves. We will be gluing these pictures onto their foldable, so make sure they bring a picture that you are okay with them gluing on a project. Also, make sure the pictures are no bigger that a 4x6. Pictures were due on Monday, April 29.

• D.A.R.E. Graduation: Our D.A.R.E. Graduation is on Wednesday, May 15 at 2:00pm. Parents are welcome to attend if you would like to come.

• 6th Grade Band: An email was sent out to all parents from either Mrs. Malone or Mrs. Tucker about middle school band next year. All parents must complete the form whether your child is planning to be in band or not. If you have any questions please reach out to either amalone@gpsne.org or ctucker@gpsne.org.

• Library Books: All library books are due back by Friday,  May 10th. 

• Baby Pictures: The last week of school, we will play "Guess that Baby" in class. Email me two pictures of your child, one picture of them as a baby and one current picture. I will put these into a slideshow for them to guess each other's baby pictures. This is a surprise, so don't tell the kids!

• Music Program on Thursday, May 16 at 6:30pm: The kids will need to come down to their classrooms anywhere from 6-6:15pm while parents look at displayed memoirs in the gym. The program begins at 6:30pm. Also, please take home all displayed memoirs that night, even posters displayed on the walls.

• Our Lip Sync Battle is on Friday, May 17 from 2:00-3:00pm. Parents are welcome to attend.

• Movie Day on Tuesday, May 21: We will be watching a movie in the gym. Students in 3rd-5th grade will watch "Wonka". This movie is rated PG. Please contact me if you would prefer an alternate activity for your child instead of the movie. Students are welcome to bring a pillow, blanket/towel to sit on, or a stuffed animal that fits in their backpack. Please note that our movie may be moved to Monday, May 20, if Field Day is moved due to weather. 

• Tunnel Walk: The 5th Grade tunnel walk will be at 10:45am on the last day of school. Parents are welcome to attend this as well.
