Dear Families,
I hope that everyone had a
wonderful week! This newsletter will be
kept informational since this is such a busy time of year! Yay…..MAP testing is finished and GO
BLUES! Have a wonderful weekend and stay dry.
Koala of the Week: Olivia Randolph
Hello, my name is Olivia and I have four people in my amazing family (including me)! I have a wild seven year old brother (Logan), my dad (Mark), and mom (Bridgett). I also have two dogs named Mickey and Jake. I like playing softball and volleyball. My softball team is called the Lightning, and my Volleyball team name is Synergy. Some of my favorite hobbies are fishing and camping. My favorite color is blue and animal is the zebra. I love being in 5th Grade!
5th Grade T-Shirt
5th grade students
had the opportunity to create a design for the 5th grade
t-shirt. The top five designs were
selected and voted on by 5th graders to determine the winning
design. Typically, students who buy
these t shirts decide to wear them to the 5th Grade Party (May 19th). A local t-shirt company, Diggit, always gives
Paxton a great deal by charging only $8.20 per shirt. If ordering, money and order forms are due by
Monday, May 8th. Order forms will be sent home today,
and cash or checks are
accepted. If writing a check, please
make it payable to Dan Keenoy. Thanks!
5th Grade Graduation
* This event will be held at
Paxton in the gym on Thursday, May 25th beginning at 9:00 am.
* The ceremony will take
approximately an hour and afterwards there will be time to take pictures in
front of the school.
* This is the last day of
school and is also a ½ day.
* Dismissal will be at 12:50
p.m. and you will have the option to take your child home after the graduation
ceremony.
* Students are expected to
dress nicely for this event.
Celebration
We enjoyed watching
Tuck Everlasting, and thank you for getting the permission forms returned
quickly. Students also liked the
brownies and picnic style lunch in the classroom. I am happy to celebrate their outstanding
attitude and effort. I will miss this
special group of kiddos. Everyone in our classroom seems to genuinely enjoy
each other’s company and shows kindness towards each other.
MAP Testing
We completed our MAP testing
today (Friday). I appreciate students’ positive attitudes and effort during
each testing session. If a student was absent during a testing session, he/she
will be completing a make-up session in the next week.
Economy
Our field trip to BizTown was
a huge success! I’m very proud of my students with the work that was completed
during the simulation. Thank you SO MUCH for the volunteers who donated their
time and energy for this trip. The class
had a lot of fun and this trip would NOT be possible without the help from you.
6th Grade Orientation
I hope you will take time out
of your busy schedule to take your child to Smithton’s orientation night (if
your child will not be going to Smithton next year, please disregard). This will
give students an opportunity to spend time in their middle school building and
begin to learn the layout of the school. This is a parent and child event. I included a note from Dr. Schumacher
(principal at Smithton) in your child’s Friday folder.
