As you may be aware, 8th grade graduation is Tuesday, May 26th.  As tradition goes, the 6th grade class donates the soda for the 8th grade graduation dance.  A note was sent home, but we have only received 2 bottles of soda.  Your donation of one 2 liter soda bottle can be brought to Mrs. Tyler's room.  Please bring them in no later than Monday, May 18th.   The 6th grade is of course welcome to attend the graduation, but they do not attend the graduation dance.  This dance is for 7th, 8th, and 9th (alumni) only.  Even though, 6th graders do not attend, we help out by providing the soda.  They will get to attend the dance the following 3 years.  Please do your part to make this a great event for our graduates.

Attention 6th graders:  Each student needs to please bring 6 PAPER grocery bags by Tuesday, May 26.  These will be used to cover books on clean-up day (May 27).   Also, we will be watching 2 movies during the last week of school.  One on the afternoon of clean-up day and one on the afternoon of field day.   A permission slip will be sent home for the movies.  Please sign and return this as soon as possible.
