TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK
Teacher Appreciation week is next week, May 6-10. Please see the flyer with all the information and schedule.

If you have any questions or want to help in other ways please reach out to Carly (carlyoutdoors@yahoo.com)
FREE ITEMS
We will have free hand sanitizers, books, and other teaching supplies out on May 9th, after school. You are welcome to take what you want. Also, if you are able to help us take trips to the Goodwill on May 9th we would appreciate it!
LAST DAY OF SCHOOL INFORMATION
On our last day of school, the kids get to participate in a variety of choices all day long. Teachers and staff have various stations. We would like to invite parents (who have been fingerprinted) to participate this year! If there is a special activity that you would like to lead, please email me by Friday, May 10. Some ideas are group games, tattoos, or a fun quick outside art project.
Also, we will be having pizza for all students generously provided by the Parent Club (and would love a volunteer to go to Costco to get it.)! Parents are welcome to come be with their kids at
12:15 pm, if you would like to join them on the last day.

COMMUNITY APPRECIATION BBQ
Hi Happy Valley families, friends & neighbors,
On Saturday, May 18th at 11:30, the Parent Club along with the Happy Valley Board of Trustees is hosting a free community BBQ at the school. This is just a small token of appreciation to everyone in Happy Valley for showing such strong support for the school. We appreciate YOU! Please invite your neighbors and let them know there will be hot dogs, drinks, cookies, and a special live music performance by Happy Valley School alumni who are studying at some of the finest music schools! We look forward to seeing you there!
LUNCH MENU
Here is the lunch menu for May. Please have orders placed by the end of Friday, May 3rd. Let us know if you have any questions about the choices on the menu, or about your account. Please remember when a new menu is posted you need to complete and submit a new order form to Ohlsen Foods.
Summer Cooking Camps!
Ohlsen Foods will be hosting three sessions of week long camps throughout the summer for two different age groups, 7 - 10 year olds and 11 - 14 year olds. The first two week long camps will be focusing on American Regional cooking. The second two weeks will be Around the World. Our final two weeks wrapping up the summer will be focused on Farm to Table. Please take a few minutes to look at our website for dates & details: https://ohlsenfoods.com/?page_id=95 If your child is on the threshold of the two age groupings and has friends taking another class, or you have travel plans, we are flexible on which camp they can sign up for. The registration form will restrict the dates, by you can change the age on the form to access the other camp.
