June 9th (the last day of school) is coming fast. As the parent of a Pre-K and a 6th grader, I am not so sure I am happy for this year to end. All of our kids are growing up....too fast for me! At the beginning of the year they were younger and timid.....and now they have matured and blossomed in their own ways. By the time we come back in the fall, they will be even more so. Because of this, as a parent, I take the time to remember the minutes and seconds that make these days. I store them in my memory so that when I feel like things are happening too quickly I take a minute to sit and remember these times. I encourage you to do the same. Revel in the minutes and seconds....remember these days...because when you turn around, they will be gone and our "babies" will be paving their own way in this great world of ours.
Field Day
On June 3rd at 10:00am-3:45 pm students will get to experience a good old fashioned field day! A complete schedule and list of events will come out in Thursday’s folders as well as who to contact if you are interested in volunteering. STAY TUNED!
