The Seedling Mile Website: gips.org/seedling has accurate and up to date information. It also has past newsletters from Mrs. Wemhoff if you need to go back and look at an older one. Don't be afraid to go to our website to seek out information or see what's going on.

Some may be wondering why we are having a school carnival this spring since it's our last year at Seedling Mile. Here's why:

1) These students deserve it. They should get the full experience that every other student at Seedling Mile has gotten.

2) It's a great night for families too! A chance to connect and get to know others.

3) Grow our scholarship fund! Our PTA sponsors a $250 scholarship to a senior each year for a student who attended Seedling Mile. It was important for our PTA to be able to do that for the next 11 years so these students get a chance at that as well. That means we need to add $3,000 to our scholarship account to ensure that chance for our students. That's why we will still have games at the school carnival.

**In past years parents have donated Little Debbie Cakes for a "cake walk." We will ask parents to do that again if they wish to.

Ticket sales for games will be this week after school! It's cheaper to buy them in advance than at the door! Stop by the lobby after school this week to purchase your tickets.

Please register your child(ren) for next year on Parent Vue this helps the district plan for how many sections are needed at each grade level at each building. So, please register soon! If you need help, please call us at school and we can help.

Parents can now add/update emergency contacts for their children in ParentVUE. The .pdf attached below will give you step by step directions to do so. I would encourage you to check and make sure all of your information is accurate in case of an emergency we are contacting the correct people at the correct number. Thank you!
