Dear Parent/Guardian,

Here is some information about upcoming events at Palmcroft School:

Recognizing our volunteers: The Palmcroft staff and students extend our tremendous thank you to all individuals and groups that have supported students and staff at Palmcroft this past school year. The Yuma community’s additional help and support has been outstanding. We are fortunate to have such thoughtful and helpful people support the Palmcroft School. Thank you very much!

Swim Days: We are pleased to announce that through fundraising, donations, and tax credits all students who attend swim days will not have to pay this spring. Please remember that any and all field trips from the Palmcroft School are a privilege, and students need to complete academic expectations and behavioral expectations to attend the swim day field trips at Kennedy Pool. Any student who owes money for lunches or library books not returned will not be able to participate in the swim days. Students will swim with their grade as follows:

• Thursday, May 23: swim days for grades 1, 2, and 3
• Friday, May 24: swim days for grades K, 4, and 5

Year End Assemblies: We will recognize students for academic performance, attendance, and citizenship at the assemblies at the end of school. Assemblies will be in the cafeteria on the following days:

• May 23: 4th grade at 9:30 a.m. and 5th grade at 2:15 p.m.

• May 28: Kinder promotion at 9:30 a.m. and 1st grade assembly at 2:30 p.m.

USO support for troops in Afghanistan: The Student Ambassadors are sponsoring a drive with the USO to provide items for troops in Afghanistan. We will provide items for the troops to use while serving the United States overseas. We will provide a separate flier with information listing the items we need. The drive will run Friday, May 3 through Monday, May 13. We will send the donated items to the USO on Friday, May 17.

Sincerely,

Mr. Pat Koppinger, Principal
