Kite Flight for Reading

Remember to attend this event hosted by the Lions Club at the Cedar Middle School on April 28^th from 10:00 AM-3:00 PM.  Bring the signed purple calendar filled out with your child’s minutes recorded.  Each child will receive a FREE kite and a chance to win other great prizes if the required reading time is met.  The school with the most participation will get the biggest check.  Please come and support South Elementary and read, read, read!

        Our annual school wide Reading Celebration will be held on Monday, May 14^th.   We want every child to be able to attend!  The requirements for attending this activity include:

1. Returning the take-home library book (the one in the zip-lock bag) a minimum of three times a week.  If you have lost the book, the cost to replace it is $5.
2. Returning the April reading calendar signed by a parent with at least 300 minutes read for the month.

We will be presenting an End of Year Kindergarten program for parents and grandparents on Wednesday, May 23^rd.  The morning classes will perform at 6:00 PM and the afternoon classes will perform at 7:00 PM.  Please mark your calendars and let grandparents know about it as well. More information will follow soon.

The last day of school is Friday, May 25^th.  All students will get to meet their first grade teacher for next year on this day.  In order for this to happen, we need all students to attend the morning session of kindergarten including those who normally attend the PM classes.  We will meet from 8:50-10:50--we are on an Early Out Schedule for that day.  There is no Extended Day so those students will come to Mrs. Ekker’s or Mrs. Wood’s classes only.
