April 10 (That’s tomorrow) Spring Pictures  
Uniforms are not required, but you need to follow regular dress down rules.  Every child will be photographed, unless you sign the bottom of the paper that was sent home.  I noticed there were still several papers in boxes.  If you would prefer your child not have their picture taken, pleas send a note and I will attach it to the paper.  These pictures will be sent home, and then you decide if you are going to purchase them.

April 21  Field trip to the Loveland Living Planet Aquarium
Please notice the date change.  We had to move it one day due to transportation conflicts in Draper.  We’re sorry if this is an inconvenience.  The permission slip can be found here:

Aquarium Permission Slip

The cost for this field trip is $3.00 for each child and $7.00 for parents who would like to join us as chaperones.  Please note: Please do not plan on bringing other siblings on this field trip.  Please look at this as an opportunity to spend time with your 3rd grader and a few of his/her friends.

May 17 & 19 Class Play
Every year we do a small musical.  This year our musical is called Munchkin Mediation: Conflict Resolution  We will have a daytime and a nighttime performance to accommodate all parents.  The daytime performance will be on Tuesday, May 17 at 1:30 and the nighttime performance will on Thursday, May 19 at 5:00.  The program lasts approximately 30 minutes.  If your child CANNOT be to the nighttime performance, please e-mail me as soon as possible as that will affect our casting.  We will also be looking for help with props, costumes, choreography and scenery as we begin production.  If you are interested in helping, please e-mail me and I will add you to my list.

Boxtops and Labels
Please continue to send in boxtops and soup labels.  Please Note:  Campbells soup will be discontinuing their school label program as of July 1st.  With this in mind, please take the time to cut just the area of the barcode on any cans you have in food storage or in your pantry and send them in.  I know the case lots are going on now and we can use those bar codes, even if they don’t say “Labels for Education” on them.
