Tulip Days and Beyond

Kids Fun Run Announcement
We have a wonderful new family at South Side this year who is eager to continue growing the sense of community at South Side and Holland Christian at large. She put some work into organizing a "South Side Runners Group" for the Tulip Time Kids Fun Run with the Tulip Time office. After all of her work, she would love to have some help generating buzz. If you have time and are willing, would you please copy and paste this in your classroom blog? It's been in the general elementary blog but perhaps your South Side teacher blogs would help spread the word and honor her efforts as well. Thank you:

Tulip Time
Let's plan on our parade practice right after morning recess on Monday. By 10:15 we'll line up in parade order, walk to Maranatha parking lot and return. This will help the kids get a little comfortable with walking....that can be a little tricky ;) If you could, please have your students placement mapped out so they know where they stand.

Preschool dismissal can get a little convoluted because of the 11:30 dismissal of the K-2 crowd. Preschool teachers, as we have in the past, please offer to your families to pick up at 11:00 if they choose.

There will be NO HPS bussing on Wednesday or Thursday at dismissal.

We will get the finer points of Thursday's events soon, but please invite your parents to come and change their child into their costume if they choose. We will eat lunch, perhaps go outside if it's not too hot, I will take the kids in the gym to rest and stay cool before loading the busses. Please remind the parents that they must pick up their child at Kollen Park after the parade. Again, we'll have more details on division and times soon.

Staff Meeting Postponed
Rather than a staff meeting with two weeks left in the school year, we will postpone May's staff meeting until the PD days in June.

PD Schedule
Monday, June 4 we will meet at the high school for a morning of work with curricular teams and grade level teams. Breakfast will be served from 7:30-8:00. Our work time will last at the high school until around noon. We'll take a boxed lunch and then come back to South Side for an hour or so of staff time followed by classroom clean up time.

Tuesday, June 5 we will be served breakfast from 7:30-8:00. We will meet as an entire staff on that morning to both reflect back and listen to the vision as we look forward. Everyone is asked to attend on the 5th if you are able. We will dismiss by lunch time. Lunch will be the launch into summertime. Have it at the beach!
