Hometown Families:

It is hard to believe we are starting May. The sun is shining and we are anxiously awaiting the blooming flowers. We are down to 27 school days left until the end of the year. May is full of learning and fun events and celebrations. Our students will be showing us one more time, what they have learned throughout the school year. Students will be taking the final MAP tests for spring May 2nd and 4th. Please encourage them to do well, get a good night's sleep, and eat a healthy breakfast.

Just a reminder that there is a late start next week Wednesday, May 3rd.

We have a chairperson for Muffins with Misses!!! Please see the attached flyer for details.

Our DARE graduation will be on Monday, May 15th starting at 2:00pm. A flyer will be coming out in the upcoming weeks.
