Last Week of School for Y5-8th Grade
Parents are welcome to enter the building on Thursday and Friday either before or after school to assist with the cleaning out of lockers and taking home children's belongings. Temperatures will continue to be taken for the remainder of the school year.
On Friday, June 4, you are welcome to attend the closing chapel service in the gym beginning at 8:30 a.m. Please wear a mask in the building. Following the chapel service and awards ceremony, you can help form a human tunnel in the hallway to say goodbye to our 8th graders as we send them off to high school. Finally, the PTO has arranged for Kona Ice to be here from 9:45-10:30 a.m. Each student will get a free Kona Ice, and families are welcome to come and purchase additional for themselves. Dismissal is at 10:00 a.m. Please ensure that you have made arrangements for your child to be picked up at 10:00 a.m. since there is no Extended Care that day. Happy SUMMER VACATION!!

Eighth grade graduation will take place at St. Paul Lutheran Church on Sunday, June 6 in the 10:30 a.m. worship service. All are invited to a brief reception in the Ministry Center following the church service in honor of Lillian Garcia and Natalie List.
St. Paul 2021 Vacation Bible School: "Treasured!"
Since VBS programming decisions had to once again be made before we could reliably foretell the future, we have again chosen to produce Videos and distribute materials for “On-Line, At-Home” VBS for families to partake in.

Some of the factors in this decision were:
  • Contacting area congregations to find out what their thoughts/plans were. We discovered that for the same reasons of unpredictability, many congregations were just not doing VBS.
  • Trying to predict the demand/ #’s of students. We were not sure if this year would produce too few kids, or the more difficult issue: too many! Because…
  • Trying to predict the availability of volunteers. Worst case scenario would have been tons of kids and not enough volunteers.

HOWEVER… it is our hope that “as things open up”, we would still be able to be together. Our plan would be a Hybrid solution:
  • Produce the videos and take-home packets for home use as we did last year.
  • Open up the Ministry Center for families to come and be together while working through the material like they would have at home, but also…
  • Giving us the opportunity to do some things together, like singing, snacks, and maybe even some games.

If you would like to register for VBS, you can go to:

A Note of Thanks from Extended Care
We in Extended Care just want to thank all of our families for your donations of extra supplies, cooperation, understanding, and continued support during this challenging pandemic school year. You've proven that we all can adapt to difficult situations and still make things as normal as possible. Working together as a team was the key to success. We are praying that the worst is behind us and that when school starts again in August, we will be back to a more "normal". We hope that you all have a great summer!
Love, Mrs. Kramer & Miss Tiffany
