Important Announcements:
*Mark is celebrating his birthday today. Happy Birthday, Mark!
*Mrs. Hopkins needs one to two volunteers to help when the class runs the mile on TUESDAY, APRIL 17th from 2:10 – 2:50. If you are able to help her by supervising the children on part of the track, please contact her at shopkins@brownsburg.k12.in.us. You can also let me know, and I will forward your name on to her. If it rains, the mile will be rescheduled.
*Smile! Monday is spring picture day. Your child will get his/her picture taken. Proofs will then be sent home later for you to decide if you would like to purchase the pictures or not.
*April is Autism Awareness month. A special guest speaker will come to our class on Monday, April 23rd to talk to the students about autism.
*Our field trip to McCloud Nature Park is on Friday, April 27th. Your child will need to have a sack lunch that day. If your child is purchasing one from the cafeteria, he/she will be able to pick it up that morning. If you are chaperoning, you will need to be here at 9 a.m. We should be returning to school no later than 2:30 p.m. Last year we did encounter ticks while we were at McCloud. You may want to take some precautions. Wearing light colored clothing, long sleeved shirts and pants, a hat or bandana, and using bug spray are strongly encouraged by me.
*Our annual data night and art show is taking place on Thursday, May 3rd starting at 6:30 p.m. This is a time for your child to show you his/her school work, data, and some art work. I look forward to seeing you there!
*Mrs. Hopkins is looking for volunteers for track and field on Friday, May 11, 2012. If interested in helping her at a station, please e-mail or call her with the following information: whether you can work a.m., p.m., or all day; your phone number; your e-mail address. Volunteers help to make the day a successful one!
