Asp Families,
We’ve made it! Nine months ago we opened our doors and welcomed everyone to the 24-25 school year. Now it’s the last week of school and we’re saying goodbye to that same school year. As we reflect on the year, we want to give a HUGE SHOUT OUT to an amazing group of students - our 4th graders! From the beginning of the year until now, in their classrooms, in the building, on field trips, in groups like K-Kids and School Patrol, and everything/anything else, this group of students has led by example with their words and actions. We talk frequently about leaving a legacy and this group has done it in a positive way. We are proud of them and can’t wait to see what the future holds!
Some items of note for this last week of school:
NO SCHOOL: Tomorrow is Memorial Day, so there is no school. We’ll see you on Tuesday!
Last Day: Our last day of school is this Friday, May 30. PLEASE NOTE - We are again releasing 2 hours early across the district that day for graduation. This means that our school day ends at 12:30 pm on Friday! We’re having our annual Asp Block Party as a school that day and will make sure all students have time to eat lunch by noon.
Clap Out: On the last day we’ll also Clap Out our 4th graders. Parents are welcome to watch and help Clap Out as well, starting in our lobby and then onto the sidewalk in front of the building. We’ll start at about 12:05, so plan accordingly! Let’s show them how much we appreciate them!
BOGO Book Fair: Our Asp PTAC is hosting a Buy One, Get One free book fair this week! Right now the plan is to have it open on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 2:30-6:00 pm. We’ll be hosting it up front across from the cafeteria in room 102, which is the same place we had it during conferences in March. Stop in to buy some books for summer reading when you pick up your kids at the end of the day or from the Y program. Swing by after work with your child to check it out. Enjoy an afternoon stroll and check it out. But hurry in, because what you see is what we have!
Hopkins Spud Splatter Run: The PTAC at Ellen Hopkins Elementary, our sister school to the south, is hosting their annual Spud Splatter Run this week on Thursday, May 29, at 5:00 pm. It’s a FREE Color Run and all Spuds are welcome. They’ll have food trucks, a silent auction, and more!
Thank you again for another amazing school year!
Mr. St. Louis and Mrs. Knutson, principals
