Dear Parents,

The pig test is OVER!  The class average was the highest I have ever had!  Great work done by most!  I am so proud of their efforts!  The kids will get their test back next week.

Monday:  9:00-9:30 Mr. Joy (4thgrade/4k parent) is coming to talk about internet safety with the middle schoolers.

Tuesday morning we will have a dress rehearsal for the program that is Tuesday night at 7:00.  It is a mandatory attendance, so I hope to see everyone there.  You will see and hear singing, ukulele playing, sewing projects, art masterpieces, snack and so much more!  Please join us in the gym for an hour of fun!  Students need to be here by 6:45, please have them dress nicely.

Wednesday we have church with Fr. Randy.  Please feel free to join us if you can make it!

Thursday and Friday, the kids in safety patrol head to the Dells either for an overnight or all day Friday.  If there is work due, be sure to turn it in before going!

This is our last full week of the year!  Can hardly believe we are almost done!  I am so very proud of how much this class has matured.  They are outstanding young people with whom I am proud to say truly grew on me to becoming one of my all time favorites (and after 23 years that says a lot, I think)!  I can't wait to see what God does with each of them in the future!!!

Many blessings,
Kim

Dear Parents,

The HUGE deal happening this week is THE PIG TEST!  The kids have been studying (in quite a variety of ways) hard and hopefully it will pay off with the earning of a great score.  The test is Wednesday during science class.  I know they are nervous, but I also know that they have made the effort to study hard.  🐷🐖🐽  "Oink, oink"

The 7th graders will be leading Families on Friday in celebration of the 8th graders.  Each 7th grader will guide family members in a couple of activities that the 8th grader will get to take with him/her.  It is fun to see the 7th graders genuinely excited about being leaders next year.  I can't wait to see them in their prime next year!

The class is planning to compete in the lip sync contest the afternoon of field day.  The vast majority in the class have chosen to participate in some way, shape or form.  There are 2 that are holdouts and hopefully as time gets closer and with the encouragement of their classmates, they will join in.  This has been a good bonding experience for the kids.  I have enjoyed watching some of the leadership roles change a little bit and some of the followers are giving more and more ideas.  LOVE THIS!

Hope you have a great week!!!
Many blessings,
Kim
