News from Mr. Harris
With Spring now being here, many students are coming to school without jackets. Please remind your children to wear the appropriate clothing for the weather. It is still too cold to be outside without a jacket on.
Our wonderful PTA has been running a food drive and the last day will be tomorrow, March 24th. If you have any items you would like to donate and have not done so yet, please bring them in TOMORROW.
We have done a lot of testing before Spring Break, and that will continue after break with Spring MAP Testing and Fastbridge Testing.
Each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings we have students read their "Shout Outs" over the loudspeaker for all to hear. Each week students write shout outs to other students or staff in the building. They are then randomly picked to be read out loud. This brings such a positive energy to our building and it lifts students up. Ask your children about it.
Please enjoy your time with your families over the break. I will be taking my youngest on a trip to visit Michigan State for a college tour. Where did that time go? It goes by SO FAST!!!! Treasure that time you have together!
Take care of each other!

Dental Exam Reminder
All Kindergarten, Second Grade, and Sixth Grade students are required to submit a complete dental examination form before May 1. If you are uncertain if you have already submitted this required form, please reach out to your school nurse. If your child still needs to provide it, please make an appointment at your dental office and bring this form (in Spanish) with you. If you currently do not have a dentist, Orland Park Dental Services is scheduling services at D15 schools. For your child to receive this service, registration is required. An invitation will be sent home with your student at the end of February, or you may register them online with this link. If you have further questions, please reach out to your school nurse.
Information about Orlando Park Dentistry was sent out earlier to families that may be interested at Willow Bend on April 12.
If you have any questions or concerns or would like to share, please feel free to reach out to me.
Thanks for all you do for your students.
