Second Grade Update – Week of 6/12

Dear Second Grade Families, 

Happy Friday! 

First things first – FOOD (and money) DRIVE!
Last year, we raised over $2,000 dollars along with three large boxes of food. I’m hoping we can get to at least $500 this year. Unfortunately, right now we are at $45 with a few small bags of food…Yikes! Please support your child by making a donation (large or small). They can go around your neighborhood, ask family friends, run a lemonade stand over the weekend, etc. Second grade is leading this initiative and should be the example with 100% participation. This is an important effort in supporting our community – they are exemplifying Jesus as they put effort into serving those in need. Thank you so much for your support!

Ending the Year:
It is hard to believe it is almost the end of the year! To me, this is bittersweet. I LOVE this class and have already teared up a few times thinking about them leaving second grade. BUT, I am holding it together because we still get two more days next week! See below for details:

Monday – Students will enjoy a nice treat from Levi’s family – pizza for lunch! Then, the ice cream truckis visiting with a sweet treat in the afternoon! What a day! Students will need a reusable grocery bag on Monday along with their backpacks to take home all of their school belongings. There is free dress for all students (follow the handbook).

Tuesday – Students may wear NICE free dress for the last day of school. Students will have the opportunity to meet Mrs. Costy and find out a little about third grade. 🙂 We will then gather in the church for the Moving Up ceremony – please join us if you can! After the ceremony, students will go back to their classrooms, gather any remaining belongings, and go out to the yard for our final flag ceremonywhere the SLC will bring down the flag to commemorate the closing of our school year. At that time, we will dismiss students to their families. 🙂

Wishing you a wonderful weekend, and Mrs. Serles look forward to seeing our students on Monday!

All the best,
Catherine
