COMMUNITY

June 1st: What a Community Day
Kristen, Scott and Dave, thank you all for many memorable assemblies this year. Though it was sad to see Aardvark Fun Park come down on Friday, it was certainly time. Does anyone know if they found the time capsule? Let’s look forward to the next chapter in our Beginning and Lower School building and play structures.

Our thanks to Michelle Tubbs and the PE team for another great Walk-for-Fun.

And of course a thanks to Jenny Cleveland for ending the day with the Eucharist service.

EchOES Celebration - Wednesday, June 6 at 3:15
Practice on Tuesday, June 5 from 10:50 - 11:50
Those who attend practice will have priority on the day of celebration. Those who don’t attend may not have the opportunity to read their work. Please remind your students before sending them off to recess and lunch.  Thank you to Lara, Heidi and the US EchOES Activity students for all their efforts to help our students celebrate writing.

Hiring
We have made an offer to a wonderful kindergarten teacher.  We will announce her officially once we receive the signed contract.

PROGRAM

Last Friday’s optional AS Meeting
I was disappointed at how few of you showed up to learn about the OES identity work.  Of the 80 plus people there I believe there were two LS faculty present. We need to make a stronger showing in support of our school, particularly as we prepare to get the community excited about building a new Lower School.

Please let Jenny know what you need in terms of math and literacy materials before June 29th. She will place all orders the week of August 6th when we return from break.

Learning Celebrations
There are many learning celebrations coming up in the next week. Please be sure the details are listed on the Beginning and Lower School Calendar. David and Chris would like to attend as many as possible.

Stipends
I have adjusted stipends so they fit our budget. You will receive confirmation of actual stipend days. I appreciate your tremendous interest in developing the program over the summer.  Let Lyn know the dates of your stipends so Chris and I may participate when possible.
