Dear Parents, Tomorrow is Bike Hike. If you are bringing a bike, please put it behind the school in the bike rack where your child can find it easily when they get here. This should be done well before busses are coming in to avoid traffic tie-ups.
We fitted lots of helmets today. We also talked about the wildlife the kids might see at the park. Everyone is very excited, but please don't forget their sack lunch, sunscreen, a hat to prevent ticks during their time at the park, and bug spray. It is supposed to be pretty warm, so cool clothing would be best. They need to wear socks and their tennis shoes for safety. Water, pop, and a snack are provided.
We have plenty of helpers to pick up bikes and riders who become too hot, ill, or their bikes have broken down.
If you have had to change your plan for getting the bike back home, please send a note with your child in the morning. Phone calls will probably not get to us as we leave right after announcements. Expect tired kids at the end of the day.
Congratulations to the last minute kids who got their AR points just in time. We are all very happy they are joining everybody else on this fun 4th grade experience that they will remember for a long, long time.
:-) Mary Beth V.
