Community Garden…

Coming Soon!

Our school has received a

federal grant through the

Youth Health Partnership to start a Community vegetable garden!  We have a strong business partner ready to assist. However, we still need to get the ground ready!
We need a tractor with PTO, tiller, disc, and plow.  After this is done we will plan a "planting day" for the entire community to come out. Please pass the word and ask around!  This will truly be for OUR Lake community.  Keep watching for updates!

It's Field Trip Time!!

3^rd Grade Field Trip!

http://www.kansascityzoo.org/

            We will be visiting the Kansas City Zoo on Thursday May 12. We will leave Lake Contrary at 9:00, so make sure your student is here and ready to go!  The bus will return around 3:00.

The cost will be $6. This covers zoo admission and the tram.

PLEASE SEND CASH ONLY

*Parents!  If you would like to attend with your child you will need to bring $6 the day of the trip.  Please plan on meeting in the 3^rd grade rooms at 8:45 to go over Zoo rules and expectations.  The Zoo requires a school chaperone for each group of students, so you will not be in charge of any child but your own.  You may take only your child to explore the zoo if you wish, but will be responsible for making sure you meet back with the group at the departure time.

*Gift Shop! There are plenty of places to spend money once we get there.  If you would like to send spending money with your child make sure they have it in a plainly marked envelope with their name on it and the amount marked.

*Lunch!  We highly encourage the students to take advantage of our special fieldtrip PB&J sack lunches prepared here at school.  If your child chooses to bring a lunch from home, please make sure it is in a small disposable bag with their name clearly marked.  All contents must be disposable.  We will not have a place to keep our things after lunch.  We will have a cooler to set them in until it is time to eat.

*Please wear either a Lake Contrary shirt or a red shirt.

Please read the behavior contract below and return the permission slip and money by:Wednesday, April 27.

I understand that if my son/daughter obtains an office referral, detention, or is involved in any misconduct at school, she/he will not be allowed to attend and will be expected to attend school as a normal school day.

Look at this!

Here are just a few things to take a look at!

First, is a link to the National Shake Down Website.  Next week we will be participating in a statewide earthquake drill!  We are all familiar with "Stop-Drop-and Roll" for fire safety!  For an Earthquake all we need to remember is "Drop-Cover-Hold ON"  see for yourself at:   http://www.dropcoverholdon.org/

Next on my list is a wonderful representation of our school.  Mrs. Briedwell takes you on a 10 picture tour of our school!  Watch for our very own classroom library!
