Dear Little School Community,

I hope this note finds you and your families safe and healthy. While we are socially distancing from friends and loved ones I am daydreaming of the time when we will all be able to once again come together in person as a community.

In the meantime, I offer my thoughts on our spring PTO events…

We are postponing Music Bingo. With the DJ, sponsors, and auction items in place, we have essentially pressed "pause" on the planning for this event and will move forward when it seems appropriate. With the closure of school for the remainder of the school year, this will be some time in the Fall. Whenever it is, we will have a wonderful time celebrating our School and our Community! If you purchased tickets, please check the email address used when placing your order for details on refunds.

The beautiful raffle baskets that were completed just before the school closure will be raffled off in May. Thank you again, to all who so generously donated items and money to create these baskets. Every student will be entered to win their grade level basket. Check your email and our website for opportunities to buy more raffle tickets for the baskets of your choice.

Thanks to our 5th Grade Committee who are continuing to work to make this year special for our 5th Graders. The class t-shirt is finished and will be distributed. Also, the yearbook is in its final stages of production.

We are still going to celebrate our AMAZING teachers and staff for Teacher Appreciation Week. They have been working tirelessly to support our students (and us!) while we all adjust to remote learning. Amy Darling is working on a slideshow so please check your email for how to submit photos and messages of thanks for our teachers.

Finally, I wish to extend a huge thank you to all of the healthcare workers, first responders, and essential services workers who continue to put themselves and their families in harm’s way. Thank you for keeping the rest of us healthy and safe!!

Wishing you all good health,

Linda
