Principal's Message 5/10/12 |
A Message From the Principalby Patty Jackson Good morning, Lovejoy Families, We have certainly enjoyed Children’s Book week this week. Monday, the staff dressed up as a storybook character. The office crew managed to find enough red striped shirts, and dressed up as Waldo in the Where’s Waldo books. Our Leopards have been participating in “Camp Read” throughout the week and have enjoyed a QR code scavenger hunt around the library, book cart races, heard spooky stories, and had camp snacks. Also, students may enter a bookmark contest. These went home in last week’s Thursday Folder and are due on Friday. Teacher Request Forms As in the past, we are allowing parents to make requests for their children's next year's teachers. The forms to make such a request are in this week's Thursday Folder. Please take a moment to complete the form and return to us by Friday, May 18th, in the provided envelope. We do ask that you provide us with names of your top three choices as at times, we must use your 2nd or 3rd choice due to scheduling, for example. If three teachers' names are listed, and the first choice isn't possible, we will make the decision as to where to place your child. Thanks so much for your input! Change in Talent Show on Monday Due to having a large number of 3rd graders participating in this year’s talent show, we’ve made the decision to have their performances at 8:30 Monday morning. Originally, they were to join our 1st and 2nd graders at 1:15. We hope you’ll be able to join us for both events.
