April 25-29

Please return your April reading calendar on Wednesday, April 27. I need this a few days earlier this month, so I can transfer the minutes onto the Lions Kite Flight for Reading and Sight Form. I will send these forms home on Friday. Our school can get some much needed money, and your child can get a free kite by taking the Lions Form to Cedar Middle School on Saturday, April 30 between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. We are hoping that almost every child is able to turn in their calendar on Saturday and get a free kite. If you are busy, maybe you could arrange for your child to go with a neighbor.
