Thursday is Field Day! All students will be having a picnic at Little Howe that day. Please pack your child a sack lunch, which can be trashed/recycled (no lunch boxes if possible).

Also, please help your child remember to wear their class color for the day. They may get wet, dirty or wet and dirty, so plan accordingly.

Feel free to come cheer students on as they play games and have fun. They will be back at QAE for normal pick-up.

Thanks, Explorers! And have a great summer.

Hello Families,
 
This is the last post of the year about the items in the Lost and Found.  The hanging rack and tubs are filled with sweatshirts, coats, shirts, pants, hats, lunchboxes, water bottles, etc.  If your child is missing something chances are it's in the Lost and Found which is located in the Treehouse (white building).  Please come by and grab anything that belongs to you.  Staff will try and deliver items to the owner's classroom if there is a name inside.  Anything that is left by the end of the school year will be donated to Wellsprings Family Services.
