The end of the school year is finally here, I am sure we will all let out a big cheer. Enjoy your summer, time to kick back and relax, have fun in the sun, and remember, we are not done. See you all next fall, fundraising, activities, and all.

KIDS PANDEMIC COMMITTEE: A special end-of-year treat, brought to you by the Kids Pandemic Relief Committee, will be coming soon!

MRS. LIKES SURPRISE CELEBRATION: A time has been set for Mrs. Likes recognition, which will be from 2:30 – 3:00 on Wednesday, June 9th.  Parents and families can gather outside by the side door #13 in the grassy area along Burke.  We are hoping people can start gathering around 2:15, so when Mrs. Likes walks out with her current class, she will be surprised!  We are planning on having her former students who are in person to be outside as well to surprise her.

Some of the room moms are collecting handwritten letters of gratitude and congratulations from students and parents, which will be presented to Mrs. Likes at the celebration. If you would like to include something, please turn it into the office by Monday, June 7. Please contact Jen Sylvia at 773-824-6351 for more information.
