Go
and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them... and teaching them to obey
everything I have commanded you. And I
am with you always, even to the end of the age. Matthew 28:19,20
Dear
Parents,
Our prayers continue to be with Mrs.
Ladd and her family. Mrs. Ladd’s mother
passed away last Tuesday. The funeral
will be Wednesday morning at 11:00 at Webster Gardens. Carole was a huge blessing to our CCLS
family, always willing to help and serve in any way needed. She will be truly missed.
Thank you for joining us last week for our chapel
service and author celebration. It is
amazing to see how much these student authors have grown over the year. Also, thank you for all of the special
teacher appreciation gifts. Mrs. Klug and I love working with your children
each and every day!
We
are looking forward to our field trip to the Botanical Gardens next Monday, May
20th. Thanks to all of the adults who have signed up to go with
us. We could always use more help. (Adults
may enter free with a Gardens’ membership or pay $6.00 (cash please) to Mrs.
Leet for the admission fee.) The schedule for that day is to leave CCLS at
9:00, take a class from 9:30-11:30, and then have a little free time in the
gardens. Around 12:00, we will get on the bus and head to Tilles Park in
Brentwood for lunch and some play time.
The students are to bring a lunch and one or two drinks. Lunchboxes are fine. If your child wants a
school sack lunch, please let me know that ASAP so that I can place the
order. Normal lunch prices will apply.
Also, let me know if you will be able to join us for all or part of this trip. The
students will learn a lot about how we get our food, planning a garden and then
they will tour the home garden center to see lots of different food plants
growing. The Missouri Botanical Gardens
is a wonderful place for a family field trip.
Wednesday mornings and Saturday mornings are free mornings to residents
of St. Louis City and county, so take advantage of this wonderful gem in our
city.
We have less than two weeks of second grade left! This is such an exciting time with lots of
special activities! This Friday is our
annual field day. Mrs. Knost and her
helpers always do a wonderful job of making sure that we have tons of fun. So far, the weather looks like it will
cooperate. Mrs. Knost always can use
some extra parent hands for the activities. Just send her an e-mail if you are
available (nknost@ccls-stlouis.org). Each child needs to wear the color t-shirt
noted in the email from her. Hobby Lobby and Michael’s have very inexpensive
shirts if you need one. It is OK if the
shirts have writing on them. Remember to
send in sunscreen and be sure that your child is wearing gym shoes. A change of
clothing (including shoes and socks) might be helpful as there are some water
games, too! We will finish the day with vanilla Ted Drewes frozen custard. Each child is asked to bring $1.00 to help
with the cost of this treat. Also, Friday is the day for the author celebration
pizza lunch.
On the last day of school we will dismiss at
11:00. Beginning at 11:30, we will have
our last day of school picnic at Kirkwood Park. You are welcome to order a box
lunch or to bring your own picnic lunch.
To RSVP, go to the Charger and click on the picnic RSVP. Please RSVP
even if you are not ordering a lunch, so that we know how many people to
expect.
This week we
will continue to do science, math and handwriting activities. There will probably be a few pages left in
the handwriting book that your child can work on over the summer on one of
those rainy, “I don’t have anything to do”, days.
Remember to turn in your Fourth Quarter service
project sheets as soon as possible.
Also, please send back the church and Sunday school attendance form next
Monday so that I can start to enter those numbers on the report cards.
Speaking of report cards, they will be released online
during the first week of June. The hard copies will be sent to you early in
June as well.
Thanks for reading this note. Keep smiling!
We only have 9 more school days after today.
Yours
in His Ministry,
Janet
Leet
