Good afternoon, parents! I hope you’re in the midst of a wonderful, pre-Tulip Time weekend together.
Tulip Time
This will be a busy week upcoming. Let’s break it down one piece at a time.
Lunches: There will be no hot lunch served on Wednesday or Thursday. No hot lunch on Friday ONLY if the parade on Thursday is postponed until Friday. If the parade takes place on Thursday as is planned, we will have hot lunch on Friday.
Dismissal: School will be dismissed at 11:30 on both Wednesday and Thursday.
Thursday: Our class will walk together in Thursday’s Kinderparade. The children will hold a long pole horizonally. There are five students on each stick. Keep your eyes open for yellow sunflowers. That’s us! Please plan to pick up your child at the Fire Station. To ensure that every child leaves safely, please inform me or Amanda that you have your child. We will not be able to send any children to a meeting spot. It’s safest for us to have our children transfer directly from our hands to yours after the parade.
Thursday’s Weather: If the parade is cancelled on Thursday, it will be postponed until Friday. Same time, same place, same procedures as Thursday’s plan.
Chapel
Our class has been busily preparing for leading chapel on Wednesday, May 7. Amanda has been taking the brunt of many behind the scenes preparations! What a gift she is! We anticipate this to be a beautiful opportunity for our children to work together in presenting a lesson for the rest of South Side to learn a bit more about God’s great love for us. Chapel begins around 8:25 and should wrap up around 9:00. If it fits into your schedule, you are more than welcome to attend this time of worship.
Time Capsule
Please see the bright gold note in your child’s Friday folder. We will be putting together a very special “time capsule” in an attempt to capture who your child is in first grade. The intent of this “time capsule” is to be reopened upon graduation. What a special memory walk for you and your child! If the letter with instructions didn’t make it home or you have questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Field Day
We will host field day at South Side on May 29th. Mrs. Rosencrans has many fun activities planned, but we are in need of volunteers to pull this event off well. If you are willing and able to volunteer the afternoon of the 29th, please register with Mrs. Rosencrans at crosencrans@hollandchristian.org THANK YOU!
Mrs. Bohle and Mrs. Rynsburger's First Grade!
