Happy June All!
First of all, thank you to all of you that took the time to come to the Museum Project yesterday. It meant so much to the children and the guides that you could come to see all of the hard work they've done over the last three weeks. For today's newsletter, we are just going to post the major upcoming dates, summer requests, and photos from the Museum Project, Field Day, and a fun outdoor lesson with the third years :)
UPCOMING DATES of IMPORTANCE
TUESDAY, JUNE 6: PARENT APPRECIATION DAY at 1:30-3:00
We will host you for an event that is all about You, and how wonderful you are to and for all of us. Come and let us shower you with gifts! Let us show you our talents in the LEW 2017 Talent Show!

SUMMER REQUESTS
Replenishing our Library. If you happen to have any books appropriate for first-third graders, we are looking to replenish our library. Nonfiction books about animals, science, history, geography are wonderful are always in high demand. Poetry, picture books, and easy readers are also great to have on hand. This can be something that you can donate to us by June 14th, so we can pack it up or we can coordinate at the end of August when we're starting to work on our environments.
Plant Care. If you would be willing to care for some large and/or small plants this summer, our community would greatly appreciate it.

All the best and more,
