Spring Musical
Tickets are on sale now for this year’s Spring Musical, Lights, Camera, Action, for $4.00 each and are required for entry.  Please mark your calendars for Thursday, May 20th.  The musical will be at Centerpoint church, which is in Kalamazoo off of 10th street.  The students need to be there by 5:30 in costume and the Musical will start promptly at 6:00.  We have been working very hard on our song and can’t wait to show off our moves!

NWEA Testing
The students will be taking the NWEA test the weeks of May 10th – May 18th in the areas of math, reading, science, and language usage.  They have worked hard all year and we are confident that they will do great!  Please make sure that your child gets adequate rest that week and comes to school with a good breakfast in their tummy.  Some of our tests start promptly at 8:45 so please make sure that your child is on time to school so that they do not feel rushed.  Thank you for helping your child do the best that they can do.

In Closing...
Miss VanHoe and I have truly loved teaching this fantastic, wonderful, energetic, and fun loving group of fifth graders.  This been one our favorite school years so far and it all has to do with how wonderful these kids are.  It has been a pleasure and a privilege to watch them grow over the year into mature and responsible fifth graders. With so many of them going off to other schools next year, we will miss them terribly and hope that they come back to visit every chance that they get.  We are confident that they will all be successful in whatever they do! Have a wonderful summer and come back to see us soon!

All of our love,
Mrs. Lozen and Miss VanHoe
