Good evening, Farm Life Families. Thursday is a very special day for our school as we celebrate our annual Heritage Day. For 165 years, students have been coming to a school on this property and on Thursday, our students will celebrate that history by learning about a variety of topics related to our agricultural heritage. Both animal and people guests will be here to help our students learn. Please have your student bring a towel to sit on for the outdoor presentations and have them dress to be outside. Sweatshirts or jackets for the early morning sessions are recommended. 2nd and 3rd graders need to wear tennis shoes for their special activity! Your children will be full of exciting news when you see them afterschool on Thursday!
Many of you may have heard about one of our Farm Life families who tragically lost their home due to a house fire last Tuesday. If you are so inclined, the family is in need of any donation you can offer. Clothing sizes for the boys include shorts sizes 6 and 14, medium size boy shirts and medium to large adult shirts. They could also use gift cards to restaurants or grocery stores. Let’s keep them in our thoughts as they navigate through this difficult time.
This is the last week for our Kiwanis Kids animal shelter supply drive. Items needed are old towels, blankets and pet beds. Thanks for your donations so far!
Hard to believe that April is almost over. Here are the dates for the rest of this month:
April 26: Teacher Workday-no school for students
April 30: PTA meeting 5:00/Art Show 5:30-7:00/Food Truck-You won’t want to miss seeing your child’s artwork displayed! Every student will have something to share.
Dates for the rest of the year can be found on the email version of this message.
Have a great evening. As always…Trojans Together, One Step at a Time!
