Weekly Update May 15

Dear Families,

It is that time of year when we are so busy consolidating our vast work of the year and moving into the changes ahead of us. Children will continue to visit other classrooms and we will work as groups and individually on transitions for all. Please communicate with us as much as you can to simplify transitions. Please be aware of the busy schedules and send your child prepared for events and outdoor time. Thank you!

Stephanie is looking for a family who would like to bring our school corn snake, Snuggles, home for the summer break. He is gentle and used to handling by children. He eats a frozen mouse once a week and comes with a 3′x18″ terrarium. If you are interested in taking this on, please talk to stephanie or reply to this email.

Thanks to everyone who has come by to claim items from the Spring Fair auction. Items are still waiting there. Please pick yours up asap. Thank you!
