As usual, I have a laundry list for your perusal. Enjoy!
- As a reminder, I will not not be going to Adventureland. This is as much of a disappointment to me as it is to the 5th graders. Heather Greiner will be the acting teacher in charge during that trip.
- Heather is also graciously stepping in to cover for me on Tuesday. I really didn't want to miss the last day of school, but this was the most logistically sound option present to me.
- Glenda Sulentich will be providing Hurts Donuts on Monday morning (I'm seriously missing out on this field trip!).
- Students (or chaperones) should have money available while at Adventureland for lunch.
- On the trip home from Adventureland, the bus will be stopping in Oskaloosa at Smokey Row for dinner. To accommodate for this, the return time from the trip has been moved to around 7:00, with the bus leaving Adventureland at 4:00. This will also give everyone a little more time around the amusement park, so no one has to feel rushed.
Finally, I am looking into the possibility of having a get-together at
Forbidden Planet in Iowa City sometime this summer. I would really like to have the chance to see everyone one last time, and with missing these last few days, I think it would help bring some closure to the year. Anyway, here are the basics of such a meeting: in essence, it's a fundraiser for St. James School. The students would also receive a handful of tokens for the arcade machines in exchange for delivering pizzas and beverages to the tables for an hour or so. A portion of the proceeds from this time would go toward St. James. Plus, they have Burgertime, and I am willing to take on any challenger that thinks they can beat me. :)
In the poll below, please let me know if you're interested, and if enough people are, then I can go about planning a date.
I think that's everything. If I can think of anything else, you'll be the first to know, so stay tuned to Flocknote!
Thank you as always,
Tommy
