We will have an early dismissal on May 26^th, and school will be closed on May 29^th in observance of Memorial Day. The last day of school will be June 13^th. Art News Congratulations to Alyssa C, Clayton S, Elizabeth D, Juliana H, Matias W, Julia P, Alaina P, Veronica P, Ryan R, Devon S, Amanda N, Andrew W and Olivia M for solving the Mystery Artist Contest. Marc Chagall, the famous 20^th century Russian painter, was April’s artist. Here are the clues for our final contest of the school year: This artist was born in Spain in 1904. He was one of the most famous and unusual artists of the 20^th century. His best-known works are painted in a style of art called Surrealism. He often used images from dreams in his art. His initials are S.D. Good luck, and please turn all guesses in to the art room by Tuesday, June 6^th. Thank You, Thank You! Thank you to Mrs. Bippart and Mrs. Maguire for the delicious teachers’ appreciation luncheon for the month of April! The teachers and staff truly enjoyed the sandwiches! The lucky winner of the drawing for the month of April was Ms. Latimer!
