Dear Parent,

     I can hardly believe that the school yearis coming to an end. It has been a rare privilege to work with each and everyone of your children.  I have enjoyed our time together , getting to knowone another.  I have been blessed to be a part of this wonderful schoolcommunity, and I would like to express my sincere gratitude and appreciationfor all the support and cooperation you have shown throughout the year. Iwill miss my students! My hope is that they enjoy their summer vacation andremain safe, happy and healthy.  Thankyou for being such a wonderful group of parents!  Enjoy your vacationtogether.  May the Lord bless you always.

Tuesday,June 1:  Our fifth graders will be having a retreatat Gladys Porter Zoo. We will meet at 8:45am in front of the zoo entrance.Lunch will be served around noon time. Parents are welcome to join us at lunchtime.

LastDay of School:  The last day of schoolwill be Wednesday, June 2nd. The students will be dismissed at 12 noon. 

Snacks:  For the end of the year celebration, the children maybring individually packaged snacks to share with their classmates.  No one is in any way obligatedto send a snack.  However, if you would like to senda small treat for the children, please be sure that the item isindividually wrapped.  (Single serving of chips, crackers, cookies, FruitRollups, fruit snacks, etc.)  We realize that most children will be eatinglunch after they are dismissed at noon on Wednesday.  By bringingindividually wrapped snacks, the children may choose a snack to enjoy at schooland bring the other items home as a special treat.
