Events, Events, and More Events

Seriously. Listen up y'all.

The end of the school year is upon us. Which translates into a LOT of things going on around here. And by a lot, I mean more than a little bit. So listen up and pay close attention. If not for my sake, for your own, because this is where I try to answer all your end-of-the-year questions. It will not happen, but I'm going to try. And if I don't, feel free to call and ask.

As you can see from the schedule above, (I know you looked at it because you're not the scrolling type if you've read this far,) there are a few days that we need you to know about.

Why do I feel like I'm repeating myself? (Remember to read all the words for my own snarky comments. I put time into this because I do love to make you smile. At least once.)

  • 5/15 - Middle School Awards Program - 6 pm in the church auditorium. School Dress, please. (I'm confident you will remember that phrase quite well by the end of this section of information.)
  • 5/17 - 6th Grade Banquet - ONLY for students and parents. 6:00 pm at The View
  • 5/17 - 6th Grade Graduation - 7:30 at The View. (Yes, friends can attend this part of the evening.) You know the drill. Look nice. Pictures will be taken and we would very much hate to have to send one of yours to those "Awkward Family Photo" contests or something. This translates into: School Dress. (What a fabulous fundraiser that could be!)
  • 5/18 - K5 Play and Graduation, and 1st-5th grade Awards - 6 pm in the church auditorium. Again, you know the drill. School Dress, please. This is not the time to let it 'all hang out'. (Actually, I'm not sure any time is a good time for that, but that's an article for another time.)
  • 5/19 - Baccalaureate - 7 pm in the church auditorium. Pay attention to this next sentence: if you are a graduate and you are not appropriately dressed, i.e., jeans and a ratty t-shirt, you will be asked to go home and change. And depending on how far away you live, well, we might just skip you and Uncle Lou and Aunt Fran who traveled all the way from Albuquerque would be rather upset that you dropped the ball. So, again, School Dress, please.
  • 5/20 - Last Day of School - dismissal is at 11:30. There will be no late stay. Please come by and pick your child up no later than 11:30 or be prepared to receive about 301 calls and texts on your cell phone asking where you're at at exactly 11:31. We're just as excited about school ending as the kiddos and we take this very seriously. 
  • 5/20 - Gala - 5:45 at Embassy Suites. This is your time to shine. Wear those beautiful dresses I've been seeing and those handsome suits and be prepared to enjoy the evening. 
  • 5/21 - Commencement - 7:00 in the Church Auditorium. Do I say it? Oh why not. School Dress. 


Lost and Found

Yea yea yea, I know. This was so last week, but someone didn't get it done and I apologize. So. We've pushed lost and found to this Wednesday through Friday. Stop by the gym lobby and dig through lots and lots of items and see what belongs to you and what you think should belong to you for only $1. 

If you don't like germs but you like $1 sales, feel free to wear your rubber gloves. No one judges you. This is the last time this year so come prepared and dig, dig, dig! :)

Spirit Wear

I know you've heard the old saying, out of sight, out of mind, right? Well, to bring it into sight, we've pulled the spirit wear out of the closet so you could see it. We've even discounted it to encourage you to buy it. I mean, come on. We're going to need the shelf space for next year's new stuff. 

And to make it a little easier on you if your forget your checkbook or cash, we'll even charge your account if you want us to. Yea. Because that's how we roll... ;)

Turn It In

You competed in Fine Arts, you played in the tournaments, and may have even scored the winning goal. Remember that book you borrowed from the library about a month ago and you just found in your room? Oh wait. Wasn't there two? 

Now is the time to return all the school's items. So go through your room, the car, the basement and the garage and make sure that you haven't forgotten anything. We really want you to have your report card but we can't give it to you until we get all the stuffs back. You know what I mean?

Answer to Last Week's Question:

I fly without wings and cry without eyes. What am I? A Cloud - congratulations to Emily Horner who got this one right. Way to go, Emily!

Completely Useless Yet Interesting Tidbits and Two Riddles

Please tell me I'm not the only one who finds useless facts interesting. I'll never use this information. Never. And yet I'm addicted to these tiny gems of knowledge. And what's worse? I feel it necessary to share. 

  • Rubberbands last longer if they're refrigerated. (I can imagine the look of bewilderment the next time he looks for a snack in the fridge and finds a brand spanking new package of rubberbands. I'll just tell him it's a new recipe I'm going to test on him.)
  • Queen Elizabeth II is a trained mechanic. Which is actually pretty cool.
  • A group of hippos is called a bloat. (If anyone even thinks of calling me a hippo, I will not be responsible for my actions. You have been warned.)
  • Riding roller coasters can help you pass kidney stones. How they know this, I have no idea. But I will most definitely think of this next time I go to Cedar Point.
  • New Jersey grows 2/3 of the world's eggplants. (I tried one once. In my opinion, they're the Tofu of vegetables. They just don't have any flavor.)
  • The country of Russia is bigger than Pluto. 
  • Ketchup was once used as medicine.

What do you call a room with no windows?

I'm tall when I'm young, and short when I'm old. What am I?
