Hutchison’s Happenings

Don’t forget about our field trip!  We will be leaving the school at 9am.  Parents must provide their own transportation and must pay at the Planetarium upon arrival.  Students MUST ride the bus to and from the Planetarium.

If you chose on the permission slip for your child to bring their lunch from home, please make sure to pack it and send it tomorrow.  School lunches have already been ordered for the one’s not bringing lunches from home.

Be sure your child eats a good breakfast!  We will be eating at a later time than what they are used to on a normal school day.

We look forward to a great experience!

Cookie pick up: Wednesday April 4th beginning at 3:30, it is time to pick up the cookies you so graciously sold to raise money for our school.  Yum! Yum!

Spring Pictures: Wednesday April 4th is the last day to order spring pictures.  Please be sure to get your money turned in if you choose to purchase your child’s spring pictures.

Easter Party: Our Easter Party will be Friday April 6th.  It will begin at 1:45.  Your child needs to bring 10 plastic eggs already filled with candy and a basket to hunt the eggs by Thursday.  I will be ordering 2 pizzas and we have a parent bringing drinks.  We do have plates, napkins, cups.  If you would like to bring in chips, cookies, treats, please feel free to send those in on Friday morning.  We look forward to a great time.

Field Trip: Many of you have already turned in your permission slips and money, but if you have not, will you please turn them both in by Friday April 6th.  This will allow us to get all of the paperwork completed before spring break.

SPRING BREAK MARCH 9-13TH.

All four first grade classes will be taking a field trip in the near future.  We will be going to the Hummel Planetarium at the EKU campus on Wednesday April 18th.  We will be leaving the school at 9:00am and returning by 2:30pm.  The show begins at 10:45am.  The cost for students is $7.00 to cover the cost of the ticket and transportation.  The money and permission slip must be returned to school by Monday April 16th..  Adults are permitted to attend.  The cost of adults is $4.00 each and must be paid upon arrival to the Planetarium.  We will be doing a picnic lunch after the show.  Your child is permitted to bring a lunch from home or can sign up for a school lunch.  We are looking forward to a great field trip!

Fundraiser forms and money are due back to school on Monday March 12th.

I am saddened to write that we have a student in our classroom that has suffered great tragedy.  Her home was lost in a fire and she has lost 2 sisters.  Our school is pulling together to collect money and other items to donate to the family.  For the next 2 weeks we will be having a “dollars of care” fundraiser for the Chesnut family.  At the end of the 2 weeks, the items and money will be given to the family.  If you feel compelled to donate money or items, please feel free to drop off items/money at Eastside Elementary.  As soon as I get the sizes of family members, I will post them on this blog.  Thank you for your prayers and donations.

Funeral services have been set for the 2 young girls. Funeral services will be Monday at 1:30pm at the Rolan G. Taylor Funeral Home, 289 S. Main St, (Winchester) with Rev. Keith Mitchell officiating.  Visitation will  be Monday from 10:30am until 1pm at the funeral home.

Tomorrow, Feb. 10th, we will be having our Valentine celebration. All decorated boxes should be at school tomorrow along with Valentine cards if you choose to have your child participate in the exchange. We will be passing out our Valentine’s early in the morning and then we will have a quick snack tomorrow afternoon. Thanks for your help in sending items to school.
