Happy May, Families!

This week's newsletter is mostly pictures, as well as the Dates & Events section. One date you don't want to miss is the annual GES Plant Sale! There will be plenty of Glacier Tomatoes, which should do well if our summer is cool and short, as expected. This year, we are happy to bring back the pancake breakfast, so families can connect and socialize before, or after, plant shopping! There will be no sign ups for shopping this year, but there is a sign up to help with both of these events. Please sign up! It's a fun way to get to know other families! Sign up HERE.

In the Classrooms:

The Lynx surprised Rachael by decorating her office for School Administrator's Day on Monday.

The highlight of the week for the Lynx class was a day at Hartley Nature Center in Duluth, where they took water samples and discovered what was in the creek!

The Otters class enjoyed their annual multi-day trip to Wolf Ridge where they learned about nature and the environment, practiced trust building, and challenged themselves physically!
