1st grade- End of Year Party- May 23rd
The Firsties are having their End of the Year Picnic next Thursday, May 23rd from 9:30am to 12:30pm in the SAP Hall.
Our theme is Hawaiian Luau, so students may come to school that day in their Hawaiian Outfit and Crocs (or closed-toe sandals with straps). Please also bring an extra change of clothes and a plastic bag for wet clothes because we will be having a water balloon play at the school grounds. If your child has no Hawaiian Outfit, anything colorful will do! Girls can wear dresses, just please make sure they wear shorts underneath.
Lunch (peanut-free Hawaiian food) and dessert (TBD) are all covered from the funds we collected from our fundraisers. Thank you to all those who supported and contributed our fundraisers!
We will need 3 parent volunteers to help us on the day of the event from 8:30am to 1:00pm. We don’t need as many as we did last year because we’re just going to be inside the school premises this year. We hope you understand.
Please plan to stay for the whole duration. If you can’t come on time or stay for the whole duration, please kindly give your spot to someone else who can instead.
