Hello again everyone! I hope you all enjoyed your Memorial Day weekend,spent time with family, and remembered our troops!
The"Green Room" has a few upcoming events that we don't want the kids to miss out on! The first is on Friday night, our last kid's night for the 4th-6th graders. This is much like a youth group night, and the 6th grade graduates will be able to start attending the Junior high youth group as soon as school lets out for the summer!
Speaking of graduates, we have as many as nine 6th graders who we want to honor with a graduation party on Sunday. We will have a guest, Linh, showing us how to make origami birds, we will have certificates and gifts for the graduates, and ... cupcakes! It will be a special day and we don't want anyone to miss it!
So- to sum up, that's Friday the 29th, kids night from 6 - 7:30 in the youth room, and graduation party in class Sunday the 31st.
At that point, I know there are a few 6th graders who have already been helping with the classes for the little kids, so I will consider them free to go, even though technically there are still two Sundays left before school ends. The rest of the 6th graders of course are welcome to keep coming to "the green room" for the last two weeks of school, after which we will give them their wings to fly, and help where it's needed or attend second service with their family. A few of the students have said they would like to help out In the green room's class, so I will put them on a rotating schedule if they would like to come in as helpers.
Whew! Thanks for sticking with me through all of that information! I truly enjoy having your kids in my class, and I will miss all of the 6th graders when they are gone, just as much as I am looking forward to having the 3rd graders move up!
PS - we have started our Shoe boxes fundraiser, and the teams have been set, so I will keep the 6th graders informed about fundraising events they can paticipate in, as that will be going on strong over the summer.
Thanks again!
Tia Austin and Dick Murray
