End of Year PARTY!!! Aloha!! Next Thursday, May 27th is our End-of-Year Luau Party!
Surfs up at Nate’s house, 6911 Bayridge Terr, from 10:30am to 12:30pm. Put on your grass skirts and coconut bras my friends, as we are going to hula into summer! We are going to keep the food simple with a quick pupu platter (that is Hawaiian for appetizer!) of fruit, cheese, and sausage. We ask for the kids to bring a sack lunch to eat at the party and we will provide fruit popsicles for dessert. Kids need to wear: Hawaiian/Flower shirts or surf attireKids need to bring: swimsuit, towel, flip-flops (or other water-proof shoes like sandals or crocs), sunscreen and sack lunch Of course, to make this simple Hawaiian extravaganza a reality, there needs to be a boat-load of parental participation! We need at least 4 parent volunteers to be there the entire time to help facilitate activities and heard kids. If you can only make it for half of the time, please indicate which hour and we will try to match you up with another parent to cover the other half! It’s easy, really! If you cannot join us for the fun, please sign up for one food, game or decorator item to donate towards the cause. All items should be delivered to the classroom by MONDAY May 24th, one week from today. The sign-up email will follow. You know how that works! Thanks so much for your help in organizing this fun time for the kids to wrap up the school year! Feel free to contact me with any questions… this email or 258-8208. Last day of school- May 28th!
*Cafeteria note: Students need to carry a balance in their lunch accounts for the remainder of the year. No lunches will be charged. If you child does not have enough money in their account they will have a cheese sandwich.*
