March 2025 Newsletter

Dear Myers Families,

As we move into the spring season with warmer weather, longer days, and daylight savings time, it’s common for students to experience a shift in focus. We understand that it can be harder to stay on track as the season changes, but it's important that we continue to encourage our students to stay focused on their work and keep up their efforts in the classroom.

Please remind your children of the importance of using kind words, making positive choices, and continuing to give their best in all that they do. As always, we are grateful for your continued support in helping us create a positive and productive environment for all of our students.

Thank you for partnering with us in ensuring your child’s success this spring!

Warm regards,
Betsy Kato, Principal

Katie Whitenack, Assistant Principal

We’d like to remind everyone that the Myers Playground is closed for school use from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. However, we understand that as the weather warms up, parents often like to stay after school and enjoy the playground with their children.

We encourage safe, school-appropriate play if you choose to stay after school and use the Myers equipment. Please note that our AMP program also utilizes the playground during these times. To ensure that everyone has a positive experience, we ask that all students follow the playground rules and expectations.

Parents, if you are supervising your child, please ensure they are using the equipment properly, speaking kindly to others, and keeping their hands to themselves. If they are not doing so, kindly redirect them.

Teachers and staff in charge of AMP students may also need to redirect children when necessary. They have the authority to ask families to leave the playground if the rules are not being followed.

Thank you for your cooperation in maintaining a safe and respectful environment for all of our Myers Tigers after school!

We have some exciting news. With our Bubble Bee Tea fundraiser and London Strong Tshirt sales we were able to donate an AED from Myers Elementary! We raised just over $2000.00. The London Strong Foundation will select where the AED will go to help save lives! Thank you to everyone who helped fundraise in any way. “Be the Reason Someone Smiles”

Our Lost and Found Bins are overflowing! If you are in the building please take a look to see if anything belongs to your child or have them take a look! Items will be donated after Spring Break.

Myers' Spring Book Fair is during conference week on the following dates and times:

Tuesday, March 11th 4:30 - 7:30pm

Wednesday, March 12th 9:00 - 12:30pm and 4:30-7:30pm

Thursday, March 13th 9:00 - 1:00pm

Friday, March 14th 9:00 - 9:30am

Book Fair Help Needed - use the link to sign up! https://tinyurl.com/ywnteaee

All families are encouraged to attend. It will run similar to an open house, so you can plan to visit any time throughout the evening. During the Celebration of Learning, your child(ren) will be able to take you through the building to see all of the great learning that has taken place throughout the school year and they can personally share their progress. Similar to student led conferences, we really think this will be a great opportunity for the students to have a more proactive role in sharing their strengths, weaknesses, and all of the wonderful growth they have had as learners.

Saturday, March 22, 2025 6:00pm - 8:00pm at Myers Elementary School Volunteers Needed! Please use this link to sign up! https://tinyurl.com/bdw46jet
