SEL: Please take a few moments to read Ms. VonBehrenś SEL News: Responsible Decision Making K-2


SUNSCREEN:  Please remember we can not apply sunscreen to your child and there is not usually time for application at school.  If you want your child to wear sunscreen, please apply before coming to school.  


FIELD TRIP VOLUNTEERS: Our field trip to the carousel, bluff, and the parade is this Friday, May 24th.  Please remember all parent volunteer paperwork must be filed in the office before Friday. If you have not let me know you will be joining us at the carousel or walk, please email me as soon as possible.  Students are encouraged to wear red, white, and blue. 


The plan for our trip is as follows:

8:45  Bus leaves Lincoln School 

  • Our 3 classes will ride on one bus.  We apologize but there is no room for parents to ride the bus. Parents can meet us at the carousel.

9:00  Arrive at the carousel for the presentation and rides

  • Student rides will be funded by our district.  Parents will need to pay if they want to accompany their children on the carousel.  The classes will be divided into two groups.  One group will ride the carousel first while the other group enjoys a presentation about Silver Beach Amusement Park.  Then groups will switch.

10:00 - 11:45   Bluff Walk

  • Students will present information about statues, monuments, and other historical marks on the bluff. All field trip participants need to be respectful, responsible, and safe since we will be sharing the sidewalks with community members and other school groups.

11:45  Get seated for the parade-find a spot across the street from the Boulevard Hotel

12:00  Memorial Day Parade

  • Students will sit on the curb, enjoy a snack and water while watching the small parade.

12:30  Return to school

  • Students will walk to meet the bus on State St. after the parade.

  

**PARENTS ARE WELCOME to attend our field trip.  We ask no siblings to attend the carousel and bluff walk.  This is a special time for our second grade students to learn about our community.  Parents may meet us with siblings at the parade site.  We usually find seating in front of the War Memorials on the bluff side of the street.


MAY 28TH  from 12:00 - 3:00   Walking Trip to Kiwanis Park 

The second grade will make our annual trip down to Kiwanis Park for fun, food, and games.  We will celebrate the amazing school year we have had!  Please dress appropriately for the weather, wear walking shoes, and sunscreen.   Students will need a sack lunch. PARENTS AND YOUNGER SIBLINGS ARE WELCOME.
