Kite Flight for Reading
Remember to attend this event hosted by the Lions Club at the Cedar Middle School on April 28th 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!

NEWS
The Kindergarten program will be held on Wednesday, May 23rd at 6:00 for the AM classes and 7:00 for the PM classes.  If possible, please have your daughters wear dresses/skirts and your sons wear dress pants.  We will meet first in the school library 15 minutes prior to the performance times.  The program will be held in the gymnasium.  Please mark your calendars and let grandparents know about this special night as well

The last day of school is Friday, May 25th.  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.

Thanks again for everything you do!  Your support is greatly appreciated!
