Kindergarten News 3-13-26
*It’s been an unfortunate flashback to the week before Christmas break with all the sickness going around this week. Mrs. Hyberg & I have been sanitizing, sanitizing, sanitizing! Here’s hoping for a full class of healthy Kindergarteners soon!
*With so many kids out sick, I am re-scheduling Pi(e) Day for Tuesday the 17th.
*As you’ll see in the date list below, we have a bittersweet day coming next week…Mrs. Hyberg’s last day with us before her baby boy makes his appearance! We will have a special afternoon filled with “A Few of Mrs. Hyberg’s Favorite Things.” I’ll be sure to share pictures.
*Don’t forget…Dad’s Day is quickly approaching. It’ll be the Friday after Spring Break. We’ll begin promptly at 2:15. Every child needs an adult to show up for them, so if dad cannot make it, please plan for another adult to come in Dad’s place. Thank you so much! The Kindergarten, 1st Grade & 2nd Grade Spring Program will begin in the gym at 3:00 that same day. Moms, grandparents & younger siblings are welcome to attend that.
