Dear Parents,
This week our Kindergarten and Preschool held a literacy night. Families came and ate dinner, read books and created crafts based on Mo Willems books! There was lots of energy and excitement coming from the gym!
I love seeing children, at any grade level, get so excited about books! I hope your children get as excited as mine do about reading new books. I enjoy taking my children to the library to sign up for the annual summer reading program. Take some time, in the next week, to make a summer reading plan. How will you keep your children excited about reading through the summer?
ENROLLMENT PACKETS ARE Due May 16th
Please be sure to complete these applications and return them to school by May 16th. This will reserve your spot for the 2016-2017 school year.
Also, inside of the packet, you will find the 2016-2017 calendar, dress code and school supplies list.
Please contact Mrs. Lane, Mrs. Coen or Mrs. Simmons if you have any questions about enrollment
Scores will be coming home to families today. Be watching for your family folder. Please contact your teacher if you have any questions. We will be analyzing our school IA data on May 31st.
Crest Area Theatre is producing the musical "Yo, Vikings!" this summer. This is a family musical that needs a cast of kids, young people, and adults! Be watching for a school flyer with more information soon.

We need everyone’s help to feed 1700 hungry bike riders.
We are asking that each Parish and School family to sign up and help. Please sign up for a volunteer time slot! You are welcome to sign up for more than one time. We will needs lots of people to pull together this great fundraising and social event. Students going into 6th grade and up may sign up for a time.
Money raised will cover our school’s rising field trip costs and also go to Holy Spirit's Church.
Money raised from this event will cover our school’s rising field trip costs.
“Field trips provide students with a window to the real world that they don't get in the classroom, and they can help students understand real-world applications of seemingly abstract topics such as in math and science. Spending time outside the classroom doesn't mean students aren't learning knowledge that could show up on standardized tests. Several studies have shown that students retain more knowledge through the type of experience-based learning that field trips provide when compared to in-class learning.” ~ excerpt from U.S. News and World Report
