I give you back your child, the same child you confidently entrusted to my care last fall. I give your child back pounds heavier, inches taller, months wiser, more responsible, and more mature than s/he was then. Although s/he would have attained this growth in spite of me, it has been my pleasure and privilege to watch her/his personality unfold day by day. I give your child back reluctantly, for having spent nine months together in our classroom, we have grown close, have become a part of each other, and we shall always retain a little of each other. We have lived, loved, laughed, played, studied, learned, and enriched our lives together this year. I wish it could go on indefinitely, but give her/him back I must. Take care of your child, for s/he is precious. Have a wonderful summer break!
Fondly,
Maria Petrozzi
Summer Birthdays: We will celebrate ALL summer birthdays on Monday. Students with summer birthdays will receive a birthday crown, birthday pencil, and a lovely serenade. Please do not send treats to school!
Beach Party Day: Tuesday is Beach Party day! Kids are invited to wear their swimsuits (under school appropriate clothing), sunglasses, hats, and sandals. The kids will participate in beach-themed stations, but will not get wet.
Super Games Day: Wednesday is Super Games day! Students will spend the day climbing, bouncing, sliding, riding, and playing courtesy of our awesome Fouse PTO! Parents do not need to attend unless you sign-up as a volunteer thru PTO. Please apply sunscreen before school that day, and send a labeled water bottle. Children must have tennis shoes/socks to participate in Super Games!
Last Day of Kindergarten: Thursday is the last day of school--NO BACKPACKS (district policy)! We will spend one last day together...singing our favorite songs, signing autographs, eating popsicles, and playing on the playground. Good-bye, my good friends!
Thank You: Many, many thanks go out to all of you who have volunteered in our classroom this year. The children look forward to the one-on-one time they spend with you, and have made huge gains under your guidance. Thank you for helping our "kinder-garden" grow! I would like to extend an extra special "thank you" to Ellen Sullivan and Jamie Mercer, our devoted Baggie Book volunteers. Without their help, our students would not have had new books to take home each week. Another extra special thank you goes out to our lead room moms, Megan Cawley, and Anne Cardenas and Alison Cochran. Without their help, our students would not have had the awesome classroom parties throughout the year. THANK YOU!!
