NO math HW! The kids did a great job finishing the math state test today! No fact test this week. 

Notre Dame Academy is holding auditions for The Addams Family Musical. Because this is an all girls school, they look to area schools to fill the male roles. I am attaching all of the information I have about the show if you would like to audition. This is open to anyone who will be in high school for the 2025-2026 school year, sorry seniors.

Parents,

Today we will be starting a countdown. We will be counting down the days till the end of the year. Each day the class will POP! a balloon and inside the balloon their will be a surprise.  We will be popping the balloon at the end of the day each day for the next days activity.  There are some surprises that require the students to bring or wear for the next day.  I will send a reminder on the app the night before so everyone will be ready for the next day.  I thought this would make the last few days fun. 

Have a good evening!

Mrs. Jurski 

We have gym tomorrow, please do not forget to send your child in gym shoes!

In your kiddo's folder today should have been a red piece of paper informing you that all 3rd grade classrooms plan to show the film Apollo 13 later this week. Please take the time to review it and fill out and return the bottom portion only if you DO NOT want your child to watch it. The form is attached here as well. As always, please let me know if you have any questions! 

Our Third Grade ABC Countdown to Summer begins in just 2 days! Your kiddo should have brought home a countdown calendar specifying the theme of each of our last 26 days. You will notice that some days require preparation at home and others do not. For those that do, I will have students write a reminder in their agenda books the day before. I have also attached a calendar here to serve as a quick reference for you if/when needed. As always, please let me know if you have any questions!

Math HW is a review ws. No fact test this week! TOMORROW IS THE MATH STATE TEST! Please be present in school. Sign/return connection folder. If you have not yet returned your Hooked on FIshing permission slip, please do so by Friday.

The date this year for our celebration will be May 30th from 11-1ish.  I will provide walking taco bar this year for my students.  I am asking that each grade level contribute in the following way if you are able:  3rd grade drinks (water bottles and juice boxes), 4th grade desserts, 5th grade paper necessities (paper plates, napkins, forks, spoons), and 6th grade side dish of choice.  If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me via email or my classroom extension 3191.  Now, let's hope we are as lucky as we have been the last couple years and get amazing weather for some outdoor fun and games and bonding after lunch! 

Dear Parents,

Canned Food Drive 

This week, Avery Roggelin, a current sophomore at Lake High School, is hosting a canned food drive as part of their National Honor Society service project to benefit the Glider Pack. The class that donates the most food will receive an ice cream treat! The canned food drive will run from April 28 to May 2. 

From Flyer Dispatch:

Lake Elementary School will be hosting a Canned Food Drive from April 28 through May 2 to support the Glider Pack program. This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to give back to the community and practice kindness and empathy. Students can bring donations directly to their homeroom classrooms throughout the week. Items most needed include:

• Canned proteins (peanut butter, chicken, beef, ham)

• Canned and boxed entrées

• Cereals

• Shelf-stable milk (aseptic)

• General canned goods

Let’s come together to make a difference, one can at a time! For more information, feel free to reach out to Avery Roggelin at aroggelin808@lakeflyers.org.

Do it again.  You need your Chromebook FULLY CHARGED for tomorrow!

Charge your chromebook for tomorrow's test!

All students, especially those testing tomorrow, need a FULLY CHARGED, chromebook.  Charge it tonight!

Students completed an emoji escape room today in class to help prepare for the Math test tomorrow.  If students did not escape please have them finish it tonight.  This is great review in a fun way.  Students need to read the directions.  This is the part that is getting some of them hung up on and not able to escape the island. 

We have gym tomorrow! Please make sure your 3rd grader wears or brings gym shoes to school.

Hello 3rd grade families! Attached is a digital copy of our weekly newsletter. Just a reminder that we have math state testing on Thursday and Friday this week. Have a great week!

Bus 10 is having mechanical issues in Walbridge.  We are transferring HS/MS students to another bus but they will probably be late getting home.

Hey everyone! The spirit wear arrived today - we will pass it out during class. Please plan to wear it on Friday! We're excited for this weekend! Looking forward to performing again!

Students completed part 2 of the state math testing today.  I'm so proud of how hard they worked during the test.  There is no homework tonight.

Today was part 1 of the math state testing.  Please remind students to take their time and show their work on their scratch paper.  Part 2 will be tomorrow.  No homework tonight.

Students completed review activities in Google Classroom today to prepare for the state test.  State testing for math will be on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.  The students have worked so hard this year and I am excited to see the progress they have made.  There is no homework tonight.

Make sure you bring your Chromebook to school!

You need a FULLY CHARGED CHROMEBOOK for tomorrow.

Everyone should bring their Chromebook every day.  However, it is particularly important today if you are testing!

Dear Flyer Choir Families,

I hope this finds you well. I am excited to announce that we are holding our very first Spring Flower Fundraiser to support our talented student musicians! Today, your student will be bringing home information about this fundraising opportunity, including details on how to place an order.  (Some of our MS students will be bringing them home on different days due to our State Testing schedule) 

The fundraiser offers a variety of beautiful flowers that will brighten your home, garden and community while helping support the Music Department. Your participation in this event is greatly appreciated and will go a long way in assisting us with our goals and to maintain the services we provide for our students. 

Please take a moment to review the materials that were sent home today and feel free to reach out with any questions or if you need additional information. Orders will be due by April 23rd, 2025.  Payment can be in the form of cash, check or venmo.  I have attached the order form file.  Feel free to print out additional forms if needed. Your student can also grab them from me.  Delivery Date: Friday, May 9th 2025.

Thank you in advance for your support, and we look forward to a successful Spring Flower Fundraiser!

Warm regards,
Mrs Recker & the Lake Music Boosters

Hello Flyer Choir Family! 

Recently our AD noticed that we have several conflicts with our Spring Concert and Spring Sports.  Luckily, it is a very easy fix!  We will be flip flopping the MS and HS concert dates...The updated concert dates are...

• Middle School Spring Concert: Tuesday, May 6th at 7pm
• High School Spring Concert: Thursday, May 8th at 7pm.  

I am thankful we caught it early so that we are able to get the change out to you in a timely manner!  Be sure to note the change on your personal calendars! 

Have a great day! 

Mrs R 

Don't forget your child's April reading log is due tomorrow! Please add up their total minutes read and send it with them to school tomorrow.

Thanks!

Mrs. Sutter
