Food Drive, Reminders, & a Rain Check

Hello Friends!

Three quick message to come your way in the heart of busy, AND FUN, week!

1) Food Drive
In honor of Willowwind's birthday the students are in a giving mood. Thanks to our Burrowing Owl friends. we are hosting a week long food drive.
Check out this message from the Owl class.
The Burrowing Owl class focused on learning about Iowa City this year. We learned about some of the ways people in our own community, as well as others, become activists to assist those in need. One way is to establish food pantries for those who need assistance feeding their families. We talked about the fact that children are not too young to help and decided that we wanted to collect food for the River Community Church food pantry. Between May 1 and May 7 families are invited to bring in food for a spaghetti dinner. This would include spaghetti pasta, spaghetti sauce, canned fruit, and canned vegetables. If you choose to participate, please leave the the food in the boxes you find in the front entry to the school. Thanks for your support. ~ The Burrowing Owl Class

2) Reminders
Our Music Spring Concert is TOMORROW at 2:30. Students will stay in the classroom until the concert begins. Your child may bring an extra set of clothes if they would like to change before the concert.

Tomorrow is the last day you can buy a meal from the Wolf Diner for Friday's VIP Day. Wolves will be selling before and after school until 2:30.

3) Rain Check
Our prairie planting site was too wet to plant today. The Cottontails were so understanding in seeing that Mother Nature often has a mind of her own. We are hoping to plant early next week when the weather conditions dry out. I will let you know the exact date so students can wear (or bring) appropriate clothing. Some Cottontails opted to leave their change of clothing or extra shoes at Willowwind. That is an option, too, if that works best for your family.

THANK YOU for your flexibility throughout the week. We are having so much fun and are so excited for the next few days to come!
