-         4<sup>th</sup> Grade Olympics will be on Tuesday, May 25<sup>th</sup>. Students are to wear a white t-shirt with their Olympian number on the front and back, as well as comfortable shorts or sweatpants and appropriate sneakers. Students should also bring replenishing beverages and a healthy snack to have after Olympics are over.

-         It is getting warmer and I am encouraging students to bring a water bottle to class, which I will allow them to refill, in order to cut down on the number of times they “need to get a drink” from the water fountain. </td>
