May flew by and June will fly by quickly, too!
There are so many amazing and fun things happening to highlight our students and their accomplishments.
Thank you to all those who came out to the march in the Waterloo and Geneva Parade! It was a great showing of school spirit and we received a few notes of encouragement and some interest in our school because of it. Also thank you so much for all those who donated water bottles and candy and those who help put labels on our hand outs.

All items will be Buy One Item and Get Another Item of Equal or Lesser Value for FREE!
We will have Monday, June 12th as a preview day. The book fair will be opened from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm each day.
Tuesday June 13th - students will come down to select two books (only books, not other items) for free courtesy of Geneva Reads. Geneva Reads has gracious offered to buy each student a book (up to $9.99 value) and since it is a BOGO sale, they will get two books.
Additional purchases can happen all week. The e-Wallet is back! See the flyer below.
All profits made go back to support our school library.
Kindness Calendar Activities
Our kindness calendars brought in $3,693!
Students who earned the casual dress passes or goodie bags will receive these on Monday.
Stay tune to see the pictures of all our other kind acts throughout this month.
The special lunch for students will be on Thursday, June 15th during the student lunch time. Students will have meatballs with sauce, dinner roll, fruit cup, cheese stick, and chips and salsa. If your child does not like this option, please pack them a lunch.
Additional Donations
Although the school will go out and purchase items to donate as mentioned on the calendars, a few families asked if they could add their own donations.
The answer is yes!
Beverly Animal shelter items - Please use the wish list for the types of items they are seeking.
