Celebration!
Parents and Students,

Thanks for a GREAT year!!

Dear Parents!

I just want to thank you for helping out in our classroom this year!  You’ve been available to help with class parties (a special THANKS goes to Mrs. Johnson for planning all of the parties!!), our Hemlock Crossings trip, the Link Up concert, field day lunch, and more!  You are truly appreciated!  I couldn’t do this job without YOU 🙂

Our annual Field Day is Tuesday, June 3 (rain date: Wed., June 4) at the Hudsonville Eagle Stadium next to Baldwin Middle School. There are a few pieces of information to remember for this day. Please review the list below in order to have your child prepared:

1. 4th grade boys wear orange shirts. 4th grade girls wear pink shirts.

2. Every student must bring a lunch to school this day. The only exception is if your child ordered a sack lunch from food service a week ago from the form that was sent home (It is too late to add any extra sack lunch orders).

3. All students must wear tennis shoes the entire day. Please do not send your child in sandals, crocs, flipflops, etc…

4. If your child would like to bring a water bottle, please remember it is his/her responsibility to keep track of it. Teachers will not be available to  look for a bottle if it is lost. When in doubt, send a bottled water from the store and label it with your child’s name.

Field Day is an awesome event that is fun for all kids. Parents are welcome to attend the festivities, but we ask you to come as an encouraging spectator, not a personal coach. The events are meant to be fun! Please use your best judgement when speaking from the sidelines of an event and from the stadium stands. We also encourage parents to come eat lunch with the kids on the football field. Parent volunteers are needed to eat with  and watch the students, alongside the teachers. With over 800 students in attendance, crowd control is very important. Let me know through email if you would like to volunteer during lunch time!  We’re going to have a great time 🙂

Thanks a lot!!
