End of Year Class Party
Our End-of-Year class party will be on Thursday, June 17th from 1:30 to 3:30 in the classroom. There will be a slide show presentation and a special surprise to honor each student. It's a wonderful way to end the school year. Please join us if you can!
Manatee Class BBQ - Yippee!
The last day of school is on Friday, June 18th. Our school day ends at
12:00, but the day will just be starting . . . as we celebrate the last day of school with a class barbeque at Olman Point beach. The fun will begin at 12:30. The location is on Case Inlet, with a 1/4 mile long sandspit, and view of the Olympic Mountains. It's a fun place to make memories. Bring the whole family!
Directions begin at Purdy Elementary School, so make adjustments for your needs. When you turn onto 189th Ave, continue down the hill until you see the beach, then drive through the gate and park.
We will be grilling hot dogs and hamburgers. We need two or three volunteers to help with cooking. Please bring a potluck dish. You should also bring water shoes for your children, as the beach is rocky and at low tide there are barnacles. If the weather is nice, they may need bathing suits or shorts. Bring a change of dry clothes for them to change into after their chilly salt-water experience. You may also want to bring beach chairs, a blanket, towels, buckets for collecting treasures, and sunscreen. Oh, and don’t forget the camera!
