LIBRARY BOOKS

The end of the year is approaching, and the Chicago Park Library will be soon closing for the year. Please have your students look at home and at school for any books they still may have checked out so that we may get the library put away for the summer. Next week notices will be sent home asking for replacement costs for any lost or missing books.

LOST AND FOUND

Summer is almost here! Please check to see if any of your children’s misplaced items are in lost & found. We will be donating all unclaimed items to a local charitable organization after the school year is over. The Lost and Found is located in the school gym.

The annual Volunteer Appreciation Tea is taking place on Thursday, May 28th from 8:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. under the shade structure. Please RSVP so we can plan accordingly. We hope to see you on the 28th so we can let you know how much all your efforts are appreciated.
