On Friday, May 3, all third graders will have lunch at the White Oak splash pad due to Grandparent’s Day at school.  Students can bring their own sack lunch or have one made by the cafeteria.  The cafeteria lunch will consist of a turkey and cheese sandwich, an apple, a mini rice crispy treat, and milk.  The cafeteria needs a count of how many sack lunches to prepare by Wednesday morning.

Please send me a note, or write in your child’s planner, by Wednesday, May 1, whether or not your child will need a cafeteria lunch.

Parents may join their children at the splash pad, but will need to pay the regular admission fee.

We will leave the school about 9:20 and return about 1:00.

Please remember to have your child bring the following items:

3 drinks (only one soda please)

sack lunch (if not ordering a cafeteria lunch)

towel

change of dry clothes

sunscreen

appropriate/modest swimwear (boys – swim trunks with t-shirt) (girls- one piece bathing suit with shorts)  or (non-white t-shirt and shorts)
