Weekly note:
Hi parents,
Well now we're really down to it, just 4 days left including this afternoon!
The most important thing to let you know about right now is about what to expect this upcoming Monday. On Monday the 8th, Evergreen's 6th-8th grade moving up and graduation ceremony takes place at 6PM--in the gym. We expect attendance to be fairly low, given that Evergreen's K-2nd grade moving up ceremony happens earlier that school day, but, if you are sending your child to EverAfter on Monday, know that any pickup at 5:30PM could be a bit hectic. We will move all remaining kids to the elementary foyer (the double doors where they come and go at drop-off and dismissal), and we will do pull-up pick-up--just pull up, wave at us or show your placard, and we'll bring your kid to you!
Beyond that, we are open on each of the two following days, all the way until 6PM. After that, au revoir until August! (Unless your kid is coming to camp, in which case some of us will see you during the summer. And, yes, there's still some room to sign your kid up for camp!)
I'll have one last newsletter next week, the last one I will write as I step out the EverAfter director role, and in which I will let you know about who's coming in to fill my shoes, what I plan on doing next, and, the best part of the EverAfter newsletter...the entire year's worth of quotes!
