ROCKS Celebration
We had our final ROCKS celebration yesterday. We enjoyed celebrating all of our students ROCKstar behavior throughout the year. We had a variety of stations set up for students to rotate through including bubbles, sidewalk chalk, kickball, music and dancing, hula hoops, and parachute games to name a few of the activities. We have had an awesome year to celebrate! Picnic to Jaycee Park and Service Learning As part of our annual tradition on our last day of school, all grade levels K-3 went to a picnic lunch at Jaycee Park. Our 4th graders started a new tradition by going to Feed My Starving Children to pack meals for malnourished children around the world. It was a great way to spend our last day of school together! Summer Garden Club-More Volunteers Needed! During the summer months when our staff and students are not here, we need some help to maintain our garden areas. Each week we would like a family to donate 1-2 hours to help with weeding and watering our 3 garden areas; the walkway to the school, our front butterfly garden, and our back rain garden. If you are able, please sign-up for a week. The day and time during that week is flexible and can be catered to your schedule. We appreciate all of your help in keeping our gardens beautiful during these summer months. If you have any questions, please email Mr. Larson at [email protected]. Thank you for your time and support! Here is the link to the sign-up: Garden Club Sign-Up Summer Slide Prevention Summer break is around the corner! That means trips to the beach, family vacations, and sleeping in. I am hoping that it will also include some critical thinking and reading. Studies have shown that if activities that promote critical thinking and reading skills are not done over the summer up to 2 months of reading performance can be sacrificed. This is why it is vital for parents to create opportunities during the summer months for their children to maintain their learned skills and prevent the “summer slide”. Here is a link from the MN Department of Education on some tips for parents to prevent this “summer slide”: MDE Summer Learning Opportunities Classroom Placement Notification In years past, postcards have been sent the first week of August stating students’ classroom teachers for the upcoming school year. For the 2017-18 school year, TCU schools have decided to notify families of their child’s classroom teacher with our back to school letters that are sent mid-August and we will not be sending out the postcards. This will give us time to ensure we have all of our summer registrations processed, students placed, and the appropriate staffing allocated. Thank you for your understanding! Thank you! As many of you know, I will not be returning to TCU Lonsdale next year but have taken a position in my hometown of Waconia. I wanted to pass along a heartfelt “thank you” to the parents and students that make our school a priority in this community. This truly has been a memorable, valuable experience at TCU Lonsdale that has helped shape me as an educational leader. Thank you! ~Ms. Klitzke, Principal
