Kindergarten Families,
The kindergarten teachers and Shively Farms have been watching the weather closely. The owner has given us the option to attend our field trip tomorrow, October 13, and we have decided to move forward with this option instead of our originally scheduled date of Wednesday, October 14th.
Our field trip will now take place tomorrow, Tuesday, October 13. All times will remain the same. We will leave the school around 8:30 a.m. and return to the elementary school around 1:00 p.m.
If you are still planning to attend, please contact your student’s teacher through Remind to confirm your attendance. We will also send home a reminder today of your student’s lunch choice for the field trip.
We appreciate your flexibility and understanding as we navigate the fall weather and make the best arrangements for our field trip.
Thank you!
During the assembly, we dedicated several books in memory of our beloved Sue Valentine, who served in the elementary library for over 20 years.
A heartfelt thank-you to Ms. Loyd for her generous donation and for being here to share these special books with our students. Sue’s legacy will continue to live on through the love of reading and the many students these books will inspire!
