🏀🏈🏐2024 Field Day Tuesday, May 21, 2024
On Tuesday, May 21, we will be having our Field Day at Booker T Washington Community Center. This event has been very successful in the past, and many activities are planned. The classes will rotate activities and will be supervised by their teacher at all times. Please call Mrs. Stenger or me if you have concerns or questions regarding the activities for the day. Please read the information and fill out the permission slip on or before Friday, May 17. If you have any questions, please call the school office.
😀 The cost for the entire day is FREE. We have no rain date scheduled, so if rain cancels the day's activities we will then have school as usual and try again next year.
😀 We need to have a permission slip filled out for each child, not one per family.
😀 Students should wear their #sjcstradition shirts or a shirt the same color as your class color for the day. Please let us know if you need assistance with the shirt color or to purchase a class shirt.
😀 Students are not to bring games (electronic), balls, or any other equipment, Mrs. Schroeder will provide equipment.
😀We suggest younger students have sunscreen applied before arriving at school.
😀Students will walk to the park down the sidewalks on Garden Street and through the Riverview school yard. All students will return to school for our regular dismissal procedure.
😀All students will need a disposable brown bag lunch for the day. Drinks will be provided for students by our PTO.

📚Library Reminder from Mrs. Gettler
Just a reminder to be on the lookout for any SJCS Library books. Check in your classroom, desk, backpack, locker, under your bed or in your car. (Books have a way of sneaking into these places.) JR High kids: Please make sure that any books that you have signed out in the binder on my desk have been returned. I will be checking that this week and over the weekend. Thank you for an AMAZING year!
