Dear Marysville Elementary Families,

It's another exciting week at Marysville Elementary as we begin celebrating the end of an amazing school year.

• Grades K-2 will attend in the morning
• Grades 3-4 will attend in the afternoon

Also on Tuesday, May 13th, our 5th Grade students will venture over to Sycamore Spring outside Sabetha, KS. What a great adventure awaits for them!

Thursday, May 15th will be our Kindergarten/Senior Walk at the high school football field, beginning at approximately 8:30 AM.

• Kindergarten and Senior parents are encouraged to arrive a few minutes early to join us on this new, special tradition!

Friday, May 16th marks our final Minute to Win It Assembly of the year! It's always a fun way to wrap up the quarter and celebrate students who demonstrate our 3 R's- Respectful, Responsible, and Ready!

Looking ahead:

We started the week by celebrating our wonderful teachers! We surprised them with little treats throughout the week.

Our 3-6 Track Meet was a success! We have some great athletes and kids that worked so hard all day!

Dave Bruna visited our MES students to give them great tips on water safety-thank you Dave!

Friday-concluded Teacher Appreciation Week with volunteer parents who came in for recess so our teachers could have duty-free recess! We are so blessed with some amazing families!

I can NOT forget to mention Fun Friday-This was our last one and the kids enjoyed all the activities!

The next, Dads at the Door, will be on Tuesday, May 13-LAST ONE of the year. Come join in on the fun!
