April 9 - April 13

I hope everyone is having a blessed Easter weekend!

Thank you to all of the parents who came to help with the Easter Egg Hunt and party. Thankfully the rain held off so we could finish our hunt and get inside! The kids all had a great time. Thank you also for sending in eggs, their $1, pencils, stickers, and jellybeans!

You received your child's spring pictures last week. You must pay for these pictures if you want to keep them. Choose the package that you want, keep those pictures, and then return the rest. If you do not want the pictures, you must send the whole package back. The last day to pay for pictures or return them is April 18th.

Registration for Kindergarten began Monday, April 2nd. You may also request 1st Grade teachers until the end of the month!

On Tuesday, April 10th, the PTA meeting is at 6:00. It is the Blue Pod's turn to perform at PTA. We will be singing a couple of songs with the other Blue Pods. It is not mandatory, but if you would like for your child to participate, please have them at their classroom by 5:45.

On Saturday, April 14th, Coosada's PTA will be hosting our Spring Fling. This is a great time for you to come out with your child and enjoy games, presentations, and lots of food! You received a form last week so you can purchase a wristband for your child. This allows them to participate in games throughout Spring Fling. We are asking for parents to send in individually wrapped pieces of candy or small prizes to use at our game. It starts at 10:00 and ends at 2:00. I hope to see you all there!

Our last field trip for the year will be Monday, April 30th. We will be going to the Montgomery Zoo. The cost for each child is $13 and the cost for chaperones is $10. The letter and permission slip were sent home last Monday. The money and permission slips are due April 23rd. The cost for children includes admission to the zoo, a train ticket, and a pass to feed the giraffes. The cost for chaperones includes admission to the zoo and a train ticket. Every class needs at least 5 chaperones to be able to go! Please mark these dates on your calendar and plan to attend.

The last day for checks (for lunch, field trips, etc) will be April 23rd. After this date the school will no longer accept checks. Please plan accordingly!

As the weather gets hotter, we all want to start wearing our sandals and flip flops! However, please make sure that your child wears their tennis shoes to school. We have PE first thing in the morning and children are required to wear tennis shoes to PE, not flip flops. Your child may bring those to change into after PE.

Please also make sure that your child has a snack and juice, or money for each, every day. We've had a lot of children lately who do not have snack, money for snack, or they say they have forgotten their snacks at home. Please make sure your child has this daily!
I hope you all have a great week!
