Our Character Education Theme for May is Courage

The weekly quotations are:

Week 1:    It takes courage to grow up and turn out to be the person you really are.

Week 2:   It takes great courage to admit to your mistakes.

Week 3:   Courage means doing what is right even when afraid.

Week 4:   A coward turns away from danger while the courageous person chooses to face danger and ones fears directly.

Have the April showers finally ended and will the May flowers be in full bloom soon?   In Western New York that answer is always a mystery.  I guess we will need to wait and see. 

However, one item we can be certain of is that our fourth grade students will be completing one more New York State Assessment.  They will take the science test beginning on May 1^st.  Please review the separate memorandum sent to you to help relieve any anxiety your child may have about these examinations.

Our final book fair will be held on May 15^th, 16^th, and 17^th.  Our PTG sponsors the fair, and as in the past we will be offering a “buy one book get a second book free sale.”  This is an excellent opportunity to encourage summer reading at an affordable price.  The PTG will hold their next meeting on May 15^th at 7:00 pm and all are invited to attend. 

Please remember to exercise your right to vote during the Annual District Budget Vote that will be held on May 15^th at the Lake Shore Central Middle School.  The polls open at 9:00 am and will remain open until 9:00 pm.  Have a wonderful month!
