There are many activities to look forward to during these last few weeks of school. Tomorrow (Monday) we have a Performing Arts program in the afternoon. For 3A homeroom, the Social Studies reports are due this Wednesday. Look for Mid-term Reports in the Wednesday envelope. Friday morning we will see the school play.

For Science assignments please check out Ms. Brown’s blog.

Next week (May 6) will be our walking field trip to the Lisle Heritage Center. Pray for good weather. Dress appropriately and wear walking shoes. It is a non uniform day. Send your child to school with a snack (to be eaten before we go) and a brown bag, everything disposable lunch for the picnic. The ice cream will be enjoyed back at school at the end of the day. Thank you to all who volunteered to chaperone. The six chosen parents received a note to be at school by 9:00 that morning. Nine new chaperones will be needed for the May 27th trip downtown to the Planetarium. All the information for that trip is forthcoming. The May Crowning is also next week on Friday, May 9.
