“Spakausky’s Scoop”
No School Friday, 3/21!
Hawaiian Day-
Next Thursday, 3/20, the third graders are celebrating the end of ISAT's with a luncheon.
The students are also supposed to dress in a tropical fashion that day to go with our theme.
I thought it might be fun to do a little Hawaiian party on our “Cheeseburger in Paradise Day.”
Would any parents like to get together and plan anything? (like the other parties). We could do the limbo, have pineapple, etc. Leis will be supplied to the students. This would be on Thursday from 12:00-1:00. (not 1:15-2:15, like the other parties).
This would also be a nice way to kick off spring break!
Let me know ASAP, if you are interested in doing this. tspakaus@ccsd66.org
Help:
We need more hand pump sanitizer to use before we have snack!
Thanks, Mrs. Kling!
