Message from Principal Bill Card
We have special instructions for those going to our Foundation's pool party. We hope for the best on Friday for our weather. It has been warm for the last few days and we do not anticipate it changing. If anything, it could get warmer. Please keep in mind that the Foundation has lunch and many out-of-water activities planned for Friday. It is not a water only event. However, please come to the school Friday morning with your swimsuit, towel and appropriate water shoes for the park. Be sure and have your student bring sun screen and have the first layer already applied before coming to school. All pool party participants are to go immediately to the auditorium when they arrive at the school after 7:45 am. Do not go to your classroom nor to the lines on the blacktop. Again, go immediately to the auditorium. Do not bring backpacks with book and regularly used school items. There is no storage for them. Bring only your needs for the Pool Party.
Please pick up your student at 3:15 pm at the school on Altura. A special note to chaperones, please do not bring extra people, especially others that will need attention and care. We need your eyes for ours that are attending the event during this day.
Let me remind you now that Friday the 18th of June is a minimum day

His services were held recently and his family is in need of financial support for the many unexpected expenses. Montrose Church will be making a donation to the family from their "Compassion Fund". If you would like to help the Sikora family, please contribute online by going to http://www.montrosechurch.org/onlinegiving (select Fund "2-Compassionate") or make your check payable to Montrose Church and mark it for the "Tyler Sikora" fund.

Lost & Found & Desperately Needing to Go Home
All items in the Lost & Found will be packed up next week and donated to a nice charity. Please put a note in your child's lunchbox and remind them to look through the Lost & Found area and find something that belongs to them. (Just an FYI - The school does not search through the Lost & Found and find names on property and then bring them to the child's class. No one does. It's just a pile that grows and grows as things are found. It is your child's responsibility to look through the area and locate their own property.)
