The Principal’s Piece: A Note From Mrs. Randolph
We have just under two weeks of school remaining! Encourage your child to finish strong and to keep doing their best!
Upcoming End-of-Year Celebrations:
May 24th - Preschool will celebrate with a GLOW Party & Ring Pops Day! Get ready to wear neon colors and dance your heart out while wearing glow bracelets and necklaces as a gift from us! We will also provide glow paint, so your student really shines under the black lights!
May 24th - Kindergarten will enjoy Donuts, Pj’s, & Movie Day! Our kindergarten students will wear their cutest pj’s and eat donuts in the school cafeteria. They will get to see a little glimpse of what eating in the cafeteria looks like for them as rising first graders! Then, it’s time to go to the Student Center for a movie!
May 24th - First Grade will celebrate with a Bicycle/Scooter & Popsicle Day! It’s time for them to show off their riding skills! Our first graders will enjoy riding scooters and bikes as we create a safe and fun outdoor experience. We will finish the day with a popsicle treat!
May 25th - Second Grade will head to our stadium for Inflatables at the Stadium and TCBY Day! We have rented four giant inflatables just for our second graders! What could be more fun than an extra large bounce house, triple sports challenge, 20’ super slide, and a 45’ obstacle course! TCBY will be a welcomed treat after having fun in the sun!
May 25th - Third Grade will celebrate BIG as we want to acknowledge their hard work and dedication while in Lower School. It’s a Water Day Bash with Kona Ice! Our students will play on two giant water inflatables - a double lap obstacle challenge with a water slide and a 18’ tiki splash! This bash wouldn’t be complete without a visit from a local fire station. They will use their fire truck to create a giant Water Spray with their fire hose. Expect your third grader to get soaked!!!
May 26th - Class Parties (specific details will be provided by your child’s teacher)
