Happy Friday! How are we in the final stretch of school, approaching our last 9 days together? We still have lots of fun things to pack into our time together. God is SO good--we have SO much to celebrate! We had a wonderful time worshiping together at Convocation, it is amazing to see all the students together from preschool to 12th grade! Such a beautiful picture of God's family!
HOMEWORK:
Reading slips and math papers are due on Monday May 22. That's it for homework this year!!
Thursday, June 1:
This is the day we do a lot of our cleaning in the classroom. Please send a reusable bag with your child's name on it so he/she will have a place to collect all the treasures that have been stored up! :) Please have it to school by May 31.
FIELD TRIPS:
We will be going on a field trip on Tuesday, May 23. We will leave school at 9:10 am, we will tour the Cappon House and Settlers House, and eat lunch in the park to name a few things! We will arrive back to school around 1:15pm. Students will need to bring a sack lunch or home lunch this day!
We are going to the John Ball Zoo on May 26! Students will need to bring a sack lunch and dress for a day outside! We received a letter from the zoo in response to an opinion letter Marina wrote to the zoo. She loved the zoo and they loved her letter and sent our class passes to go to the zoo for free! So fun!
We are in need of a few parents to go along with us to the zoo. If you are able to go please sign up below! Sorry it's such late notice for chaperones!

Jungle Explorer:
Claire was our special Jungle Explorer of the Week! Thanks for sharing your poster and pictures with the class. We enjoyed getting to know more about you! We learned that you like to play outside and herd animals. Your favorite food is pizza. Your favorite place is up north and you want to work at VI Pets when you grow up! You are so special to God and to us, Claire, and we loved getting to know more about you this week!FIELD DAY:
Field day this year is going to be held on the afternoon of May 25. (Rain date May 30) Please send along water bottles for your children, dress for the weather, slather on sunscreen, and pray for a nice day!
END OF THE YEAR CHAPEL:
Mark your calendars! You won't want to miss this! On the last day of school, June 2, we will have a special "goodbye" chapel for the 2nd graders at 10:30. This a beautiful time where we come together as students, teachers and parents and thank God for the gift of South Side and ask His blessing on the 2nd graders as they move on to Pine Ridge! It's a touching and VERY memorable chapel! Try to make it if you can and bring the tissues! We will be outside so take your lawn chairs along!
Dismissal will shortly follow this at 11:30.
