If your child is logging their summer reading minutes in the Beanstack app., their name was put into a random drawing. Two winners have been selected and they will be receiving something in the mail. If you have not already been logging into Beanstack it is not too late to start. 😊

Often they are behind the scenes, but we wanted to bring our facility maintenance staff forward to show our appreciation for all they do to make schools run smoothly. Recently, Iron County School District administrators started their day a little early to put together a breakfast for the maintenance and facilities staff, including custodians, ground crews, warehouse and more. The group was recognized as the team of the year for all the work they do.

‼️A few more last minute announcements‼️ -There are 59 baggie books and 63 library books that still need to be returned! Please do so ASAP!!! -Yearbooks are still available for $30, on Friday they’ll be $35 so order them now! -If your child is getting an award at the end of year awards assembly, you should be notified by the teacher giving the award. (Some classes do class awards, but those won’t be given during the assembly.) -Thursday is early out 1:30 -5th grade parents: clapout info flyers will be sent home Wednesday. -Friday dress Hawaiian style to say Aloha to our 5th graders!

Color run is Monday! Don’t forget! It’s also field day so please make sure your kids dress appropriately and probably have them wear sunscreen! We need lots of parents helping us throw chalk! Come join the mess!!! And bring your battery powered leaf blowers! Be there at 2:00!!

Parents/Guardians: If your child/children have a negative balance on their School Lunch Account, please pay before the end of the year. Thank you!

📢Important changes📢 The Color Run is rescheduled to May 20- more details will be sent home with a flyer this week. May 20 is also field day. This year field day will not be the same as it has been in the past. There will not be races held at the school for parents to attend. Instead, the races are being held during PE and the winners will be notified and receive their awards in school. (The PTA is not in charge of field day- it is out of our hands. Sorry for any disappointment in this change.)

UPCOMING EVENTS AND VOLUNTEER HELP NEEDED: WE NEED: - volunteers to bring and set up obstacles for color run Thursday morning the 16th or the night before - battery powered leaf blowers for color run - totes for color run THE 5TH GRADE CLAP-OUT: - a few 5th grade parents to hand out leis for aloha clap out THE PTA PRESIDENT POSITION IS STILL OPEN. All other positions have been filled. Please consider filling this position. I know life is busy but the PTA is a vital part to our elementary. Thank you.

In search of PTA board members! We have had some of our positions fall through for next year. We are in desperate need of a President, Treasurer and President Elect for the 24-25 school year. If we do not get volunteers we cannot function as a PTA which means no PTA activities and funding for the school. -no fundraising for the school -no field trips that cost more than bus transportation -no Halloween carnival -no glow party, color run or other activities -no family week -no teacher appreciation -no extras for Dr Seuss Week -no prizes or bracelets for red ribbon week -no book fair -and so much more!!! Do it for the kids! They love and need these things at the school. They adore their PTA who are involved. It is a lot of work at times, but I promise it's worth it. Having been on the board for the past 2 years I can tell you that the smiles and happy kids are worth every second.

Please turn in all library and take-home books tomorrow (May 3rd). Our goal for the end of the year is to have 100% of the books turned in. Thanks!

To celebrate National Teacher Appreciation Day, our local McDonald’s owner/operators have approved a fundraiser on Tuesday, May 7 from 5 p.m. – 8 p.m. where 20% of all digital sales during that period will be tracked and donated to the Iron County School District Foundation. That money is used to support teachers and classrooms with funding that cannot be met through regular budgets. It is a simple process for you to help: Download the McDonald’s app and order your meals from 5-8 p.m. on Tuesday, May 7 The restaurants will track all digital app sales and will donate the percentage to our district.

All library and take-home books are due on May 3rd. Please start looking for them so we can have 100% turned in this year. Thanks!
