(No
memory work)
Dear
Parents,
Here we are at the end of the school year. It has been an awesome year. The children have come together as a
wonderful group of friends, always willing to help one another. My prayers are with each of them as they move
on to third grade.
This is going to be a very busy week! We have lots of loose ends to tie up and
there are a few things that may not be finished. If only we had a few more weeks??!!!
On Thursday we will be doing some serious
cleaning! Your child may want to bring
along an extra bag for carrying home all of the supplies, etc. The big brown
envelope is coming home on Friday. Be sure to check through it. If your child
earned a Six Flags ticket, that will be in there. There will be a summer activity calendar. The math tests for the fourth quarter are
also in there. There are a few pages in
the handwriting book that we did not finish.
Please encourage your child to practice cursive writing over the summer
and to complete the handwriting book pages. What a lot of things to see!
Remember that we dismiss at 11:00 on Friday. There
is NO after school care on Friday, so everyone will need to be picked up at
that time. The used uniform sale will open at 7:55 Friday morning. We will have
an all-school chapel service at 8:30 Friday morning here at Webster. You are welcome to join us. Our school picnic
begins immediately following school dismissal.
It will be at Kirkwood Park beginning at 11:30. Please RSVP so we have a head count. Feel free to bring your own lunch or to order
a box lunch. Hope to see you there!
The last report card will be released online in the
afternoon on May 31st and will be mailed home the following week. Speaking of
report cards, please send in your child’s church and Sunday School attendance form
tomorrow if you did not send it in today. Also, remember to send in the service project
form for the fourth quarter. Thank you so much!
Eighth grade graduation will be held this Thursday night
at 7:00 at Concordia, Kirkwood. It is
always a wonderful evening of celebration.
You are invited to join us.
On Friday, I will ask the children for their thoughts
about second grade and if there is anything (within reason) that they would
like to change. I would like to give you
the same opportunity. Please feel free
to jot me a note about this year, especially if there is something that you
would like to see done differently. Mrs.
Klug and I are always open to your comments. I have thoroughly enjoyed my
partnership with Mrs. Klug this year. She
has encouraged and pushed your children to do their best in their writing and
language arts.
Thank you for all of your prayers of love and support
during this school year. I hope that all of you have a relaxing and refreshing
summer. I will be spending my summer
ordering materials for school, going through files at school and at home, and
working with the administrative team to assure a smooth beginning in the fall. In
July, I will be serving as a Community Life Builder at the LCMS National Youth
Gathering. It is an amazing event with
close to 30,000 youth growing in their faith over the five days in
Minneapolis. Then, I will travel to Camp
Arcadia, Michigan, to spend some time with my daughter and her family and Mrs.
Klug and her family. It will be so much
fun!
My prayers for you are that God grants you a safe and
restful summer. Be sure to remind your child to read every day, write some
stories or keep a daily journal, and to practice math facts. All of these
things will help the transition to third grade to be a smooth one.
In
His Name,
Janet
Leet
