I apologize for my lack of posts recently! It has been so hectic lately that I've been TERRIBLE about remembering to take photographs to share with you. I will try to be better the rest of the month, but May is by far the BUSIEST month of the school year. Make sure these events are on your calendar so that you can help your child come to school prepared for all of these special days!
ï Thursday, May 10th à Kickapoo Valley
Reserve
Service Learning
Day (AKA.= KVR Day J)
o
Families are
invited to join us for any portion of the day or all day! This is an all day event where children from
LaFarge Elementary spend the morning outdoors at the reserve. Each grade gets a special service project to
complete in the morning. In the past,
Kindergartners have helped plant Sunflower seeds, plant hanging baskets for the
deck, pull weeds out of the wood chip path, etc.
o
After service projects
are complete, we enjoy a picnic lunch on the deck.
o
Tom Pease will be performing for the children in the afternoon.
o
Children
should wear old clothes and tennis shoes. Please send a water bottle labeled with your child's name
ï Monday, May 14th àYoung Author Night
& Art Show
o
Families are
invited to visit the cafeteria and the gym after school - anytime from 3:15 – 7:00 pm - to view LOTS
of projects created by students of all ages at our wonderful little school.
§
YOUNG AUTHOR
NIGHT – There will be tables set up in the cafeteria to display books that the
children have written and illustrated.
§
ART SHOW – All
school year, Ms. Hanson saves the best work from art students in Kindergarten
through Grade 12 to display at the annual art show.
ï Wednesday, May 16th à Elementary Track
& Field Day
o
Families are
invited to watch as children Kindergarten – Grade 5 participate in track &
field themed events throughout the day.
Again, you can join us for any portion of the day that you are able to
attend, or all day if you wish!
o
Events include
sack race, 3-legged race, softball toss, long jump, running races, tug-of-war,
kickball, etc.
o
If the event
is cancelled due to weather, it will be rescheduled for May 17th.
o
Your child
should dress comfortably for a very active day. (Think shorts or sweat pants, T-shirts & tennis
shoes)
ï Wednesday, May 30th à Promise Center
Family Picnic & Swimming
o In the past, the Promise Center has enjoyed a family picnic in the Village Park at the end of the school year to celebrate all our hard work. Last year, for the first time ever, we decided to take the chidlren and their families to Viroqua for this special event. It was such a hit that we've decided to do it again this year!
Families are
encouraged to meet us at Bigley Pool (at the Viroqua High School) for a morning
of swimming then follow us Eckhart Park (also in Viroqua) for a picnic
lunch. Because this is such a special day for the Kindergartners, and for
safety reasons, we would like each child to have a special adult to accompany
them to the pool. If a parent is
unable to attend, perhaps an aunt/uncle, babysitter, or family friend would be
able to attend with your child.
Permission slips will come home soon.
o
Important Reminders for the day of the trip:
§
Children need
to bring a sack lunch, unless you will be meeting them at the park with food
for your family or they've signed up for a sack lunch prepared by the school for that day.
§
Children
should wear suits to school UNDER their clothing.
§
Send
underwear, socks and tennis shoes for children to put on after swimming, since
we will be playing at the park after lunch.
§
You can sign
your child out at the park and take them with you, or your child can return to
school on the bus.
