Field day will be Monday, May 18th. It will be a time to celebrate friendships and have fun together. For safety, it is a student-only event - unless you are an adult volunteering at a specific station. Notes have been sent home to fill out and return if you are interested in volunteering. Please know, that date may be wrong on some green notes sent home - field day is MONDAY, MAY 18th (rain date is the 19th).

For remote learning, if your child has Music, Art, or PE today, please look at the Specials Choice Board (pictured) to choose a fun activity to complete at home! 🎶🎨🏃‍♀️

If your child has library some good choices are:
-setting aside time to read library book (or book from home)
-if they have computer access and can get to their Classlink apps, they can go on the Follett Destiny app then go on a website listed under Online Safety and write 3 things they learned
-Also under their apps they get an electronic book from the NC Digital Library using their Student ID number for their username and the last 4 digits of that same number as their password.
-Another choice is: https://storylineonline.net is a site to listen to stories read aloud and draw a picture of your favorite part!
