What a week.....impromptu half day for weather, donuts for dads, field testing, stomach bug, career fair, 2 field trips, and the BOGO book fair.  There is NO April Fools about this week!  We made it. It is Spring Break time!

Cub Lab Key

The leadership team brought a safety concern to my attention at our last meeting.  The concern was that there was no way to lock the cub lab in the case of a lockdown or emergency.  There is now a key in the room.  In the case of a lockdown, the key is in the cabinet (right side) on the shelf.  It is in an envelope seen below.  If you ever use it, please make sure to put it back.  Thanks to the leadership team for bringing this to our attention.

 Shout Out Drawing

I did a drawing for the Shout Out board today.  If you were selected, you have either a Jean Pass or a Gone Fishing Pass in your box.  Continuing using this board to pat each other on the back.  I'll do a better job of weekly drawings.  :)

Contracts

Don't forget to sign and return your contracts.  You have until May 11th.  If you know you are coming back, please get it back to Ms. Cindy ASAP or by April 18th.  

T for Thank You

We have lots of folks sick or  have children who are sick or in some cases, both.  Thank you for you patience the last few days and weeks.  I've had to ask folks to help cover, to split classes, and to quickly drop things to help.  Not once, I repeat....not once has anyone complained.  You folks are amazing.  You are always willing to help each other out and I thank you for that!  It is never ideal, but you put our children first and make it happen.  Thank you!

Testing

Just a friendly reminder, as we start our full testing schedule on the Monday that we return, PLEASE take down all writing in the hallways.  Artwork and pictures are OK.  Just do not need to see any written work of any kind.  There are still some items up.  Please make sure they are removed first thing Monday, April 17th.  Thanks!

When we return, we are hitting the ground running.  Take time this week to rest, relax, and fill your days with the things you love most.  I'll be thinking of you all and hoping you have the very best Spring Break!
