Another week has come and gone, but we haven't skipped a beat! The students are still enjoying the ABC Countdown, and we think it's safe to say that Mr. Pazol enjoyed King Day just as much as the kids!
*New information* Girls on the Run Community Impact Project
Calling all Kildeer Cougars! We are at War...A Penny War!
You have a mission:
What?: Bring in your pennies to win the war for your grade level
Where?: Put your pennies in your grade level's bucket located near Exploration Lab
When?: Monday, May 22- Friday, June 2
Why?: To raise money for the Second City Canine Rescue
Objective: Bring in as many pennies as you can to help your grade level win the war. Bring in your silver coins and dollar bills to "ambush" the other grade levels by cancelling out pennies.
Winner: The winning grade level will be recognized at the final Cougar Pride Assembly.
Girls on the Run is excited to be starting their Community Impact Project and can't wait to get the whole school involved in raising money for an organization that brings dogs to homes and loving families. Your War Powers will contribute to a great cause and bring dogs home.
Thanks for your participation!

Field Day is June 2nd!
Children spend a portion of the day outside. It is advised that you apply sunscreen in the morning. Children can also bring sunscreen, but we cannot apply it. Please practice having your child apply their own sunscreen. It is also advised that you dress your child knowing they'll be in the sun if you are concerned about too much sun, such as wearing a long sleeve light weight/light colored shirt. Children can also wear hats and sunglasses. Children can bring water bottles. Please label your child's water bottle with their name. Keep your fingers crossed for good weather!
