The Best Laid Plans

My original plan was to return to school tomorrow. Unfortunately, I will not be returning to the school until Wednesday. However, I will check email whenever I can over the next day.

I am looking forward to celebrating the end of kindergarten with you on Wednesday. The morning class will celebrate at 10:30 AM and the afternoon class will celebrate at 2:00 PM. Please send backpacks and folders to school Tuesday and Wednesday, so that we can return papers and other personal belongings.

On Thursday, the last kindergarten day, kids can wear bathing suits with coverups or clothes they can get wet in to school. We will be having a “beach day”. They will not need their folders on Thursday. Just a beach towel packed in their backpack. Please apply sunscreen to your child before sending them to school, because we will be spending most of the time outside.

We could still use some donations of cookies and drinks for our celebration on Wednesday. In the morning we can need 4 people for 2 dozen cookies. In the afternoon we need 3 people to bring 2 dozen cookies and we also need 1 person. to donate juice pouches or boxes. On beach day we could use some donations of goldfish for a snack. Click here for the sign up for Wednesday and here for the sign up for Thursday, beach day.

Thank you so much for all you have done to support our class this year. It takes a village!

Race Day Tomorrow

Tomorrow is the Race for Education. We will be outside for an hour. Please have your child wear clothes to be outside walking or running. Sneakers would be the best shoe to wear, because we will be in a grassy field walking up and down hills. Everyone will be able to take sitting breaks as frequently as they would like. Spectators are welcomed!

Morning class is racing at 9:15-10:15

Afternoon class is racing at 2:30-3:30

Please remember that I will not be here next week. If you need anything please contact Mrs. Tuel. You can reach her at sara.tuel@pennmanor.net. I plan to be back on May 31 to celebrate the end of the school year with everyone.

Kindergarten Celebration is on June 1st. This is a short program to celebrate the end of kindergarten. At the end of each program there will be cookies and juice. Please sign up here to donate these items for the students. Please be careful to sign up for either the morning or the afternoon. You are all invited to join us.

Morning kindergarten will perform at 10:30 AM

Afternoon Kindergarten will perform at 2:00 PM

Beach day will be on June 2nd, which is the last day for kindergarten students. We spend the day outside doing activities you might do at the beach. We would like to provide students with a snack at the beach. We thought goldfish and water. If you can help us out please sign up here. Once again the sign ups are separate into morning and afternoon class.

Thanks for helping out. You are appreciated!

May, Busy, May

The end of the school year is best summed up by these words; so many events, so little time.

This coming Friday, May 13th, is the only day that kindergarten is on a different schedule for the rest of this school year. This Friday there is no afternoon kindergarten and morning kindergarten comes from 9-1:30. Parents of morning kindergarten students are invited to join us this Friday, May 13th at 12:45 for “Countdown to First Grade.” There is still time to sign up. We would love to see all of you there.

All school days through the end of the year are on a regular schedule with special events happening on three days.

1. Race for Education on Friday May, 20th- Parents and grandparents are invited to come and cheer us on during this event, which is next Friday, May 20th. The race takes place on the fields to the right of the school. Please bring a chair or a blanket to sit on. See below for our run times.

2. Kindergarten Celebration on Wednesday, June 1st-Parents and family members are invited to come celebrate the end of kindergarten with us. Morning Kindergarten will celebrate at 10:30 am and afternoon kindergarten will celebrate at 2:00 pm

3. Beach Day on Thursday June 2nd- This is just for students. You will be receiving more information about this day. We will need help and also a few snacks. This is also the last kindergarten day of school this year.

This May is especially busy for me. In case you haven’t heard, I am going to be a Grandma! Well, I will be GiGi. We are expecting Adelaide (Addie) to be born May 22nd. Of course you know what they say about the best laid plans.

With that said I will be out May 23-May 30. It is my goal to be back for the last 3 days of kindergarten. Mrs. Tuel will be teaching in my place. She has been an important part of your child’s school day all year. Please direct all questions and/or information to Mrs. Tuel that week. Her email is sara.tuel@pennmanor.net. Please do not send messages to Mrs. Tuel through Seesaw, as she will be unable to read them. I will occasionally check messages while I am off, but if you want to be sure your message is read please email it to Mrs. Tuel.

The birth of my first grandchild has also brought about a decision to retire. Many of you may have already heard about my retirement, but I wanted to personally share the news. June 3rd will be the last day I will be working for Penn Manor. I am going to relocate to Ohio and live closer to my daughter and her family. I will miss being a part of this wonderful community and can only pray that the new community will be just as caring.
