A Few Notes Before We Leave for Summer

  • Please remember that Monday and Tuesday we will dismiss at 11:15 a.m. 
  • Monday is our Semester Celebration at 8:15 a.m. Students with all "A"s for the 3rd and 4th 9 weeks will be recognized as well as all of our monthly AR winners for the second semester. You are welcome to join us. ***Please see below for a note from Mrs. Shelley about parking.
  • Monday we will also watch The Secret Garden in our room with special snacks to celebrate the end of the year together. (It is always fun to compare and contrast a novel with the movie version.) Students may bring a pillow to make themselves comfortable during the movie.
  • Tuesday Field Day will begin at 9 a.m. (Students may wear their Field Day T-shirts with uniform bottoms, and uniform approved shoes.) We will go around to each event together as team red and team blue battle it out once again. After all the active fun we will enjoy pizza and popsicles together at 10:30. 
  • Summer Reading information can be accessed online--just click here. Happy Reading!!!!
  • Please encourage your child to practice his/her math facts regularly this summer.
******A Note from Mrs. Shelley about Parking:
• PARKING for school events.......PLEASE refrain from parking at Eastwood Church.
• You may park at The Crossing Church. It is the SMALL church that is for sale across the street. If the Crossing Church lot fills up, we strongly encourage you to park on the Trinity campus. There is ample parking behind the school. Plan ahead and arrive early so that you can park appropriately. Thank you very much for your cooperation.
