Hi Parents, our year in 1st grade is winding down. Your first graders continue to work hard as they get ready for 2nd grade. Mrs. Morissey and I want to thank you for being such a wonderful group of parents and having such terrific kids.
This Friday is our first grade party. Thank you to Theresa Harrington for helping to organize this and to all you parents who are coming to help. It should be a lot of fun.
Here are the details:
Date: June 17th, 2011
Time: 1 to 2:30 pm
The schedule will be as follows:
12:00 – 1:00 Volunteers sign in and meet at the gym. Get equipment and go to set up the field.

Station Information:
The teachers will have already numbered all of the children in their class with numbers 1 through 6 - which stands for each of the six stations/activities that the children will be participating in during the duration of the party. At the beginning of the party, when the children meet us at the grass field, you will direct them to whichever station matches the number they were assigned by their teacher. The plan is to have 2 to 3 volunteer parents per station to help facilitate the activity as well as manage the children when it's time to transition on to the next station. Mr. Sandbo has been very generous, and will be allowing us to borrow some of his games/equipment for our stations. The stations will be as follows:
1. Parachute Play
2. Frisbee Golf (throwing Frisbees through a hula hoop)
3. Bubbles
4. Sack Races
5. Poster Making (Welcome First Graders) - this will be our 1st Grader's send off and welcome to next year's incoming 1st Grade class.
6. Oglo Ball

Snacks:
The snacks for the party will be watermelon, bananas, and all-natural juice popsicle bars as well as water. The fruit and popsicles are being supplied through the party fund money that was donated earlier in the year!

Lastly, a librarian from the King County Library will be visiting us on Tuesday to talk about their summer reading program. This is a great way to keep up all the reading skills your child has mastered this year.
Remember that the last two days of school are both 1/2 days. Next Monday is our last full day.
