Dear GDW Families,

We need you!  We are still looking for parent volunteers to help us out on Field Day, Tuesday, May 22^nd.  If you are interested in helping, please contact any of the office staff.  I know that it may be difficult to take off of work, or to find time, but it is a day filled with fun.  We would greatly appreciate some extra adult help, especially outside.  Please be sure your children are dressed in appropriate attire and they wear sunscreen.  Feel free to send your student to school with a water bottle and hat since we will be outside most of the day.

I am looking  forward to celebrating the school year with our kindergartners next Tuesday the 15^th at the kindergarten picnic.  The kids have all grown up so much.  It has been a great year, and I hope that all of our kindergarten parents are able to attend!

As a reminder, to help you plan your crazy schedules, PLEASE LOOK BELOW FOR IMPORTANT EVENT DATES AND TIMES.  Please continue to help your child stay focused on school throughout this last couple of weeks.  It gets difficult for students to concentrate as the weather gets nicer and as they participate in many fun activities.  Thank you!

If you know any new families who will be attending Gary D. Wright Elementary next year, please have them call or stop by the office. It's hard to believe, we are already beginning to plan for the 12-13 school year.

I hope that the weekend brings forth wonderful weather, as I know a number of our wildcats have some sort of game, tournament, practice or play-dates scheduled.  Enjoy!  Please keep in mind that my door is always open if you need anything or have any questions.   The summer office hours are 7:15-3:30.

Sincerely,

Mr. Wicker
