Kentucky Derby

We have studied a bit about Kentucky this week in our geography lesson, and the Louisville (Ms. La Duke's home town) Kentucky Derby. Due to the Derby this Saturday, the third grade teachers are permitting the children to bring a hat to school on Friday in honor of Derby Day.

*Participation is optional.

*Hats should be decorated or fancy. (Baseball caps need some sort of decoration.)

*Hats will be brought to school and stored in lockers until after the ERB testing is over for the day.

Thank you!

Spirit Day

This is a reminder that tomorrow is Spirit Day.

Celebrate the Arts

This week is "Celebrate the Arts" week.

The festivities kicked off with our field trip this past Friday. This week we have several other events planned. This morning we were treated to a string quartet performance by some USF students. On Friday, there will be a performance at 11. Each grade level will be singing some songs, and there is even a group of teachers that will be performing. After the performance, the entire Lower Division will have a cookout. Please submit your lunch preference form if you have not already done so.

I look forward to seeing all of you on Friday!

Field Trip

As part of the Celebrate the Arts next week, we will be taking an architectural tour of downtown St. Petersburg. We will be going this Friday morning (4/16). We are scheduled to leave campus at 8:45 and return around 10:30.

If anyone is interested in accompanying our class, please let me know via email at nealw@shorecrest.org .

Thank you!
