Thursday May 29

HI everyone,

Can you believe the school year is almost over?
I can't.
It is flying by too fast.

Here's an information update:

* End of the year trip information went into the parent boxes this week.
The only thing missing is a map,
but the directions are easy-
(101 south approximately 35 miles, left on rt. 36 -5 miles east. Pamplin Grove on right. Follow signs).

I will have maps for anyone who needs one.
Please get back to us as soon as you can
to let us know if you can come.

We encourage everyone to try to make at least
one day of the trip.
It is always a wonderful experience,
and it strengthens our entire school community.

We have always wished we could begin the year with a trip,
but so many of our parents are students
and can't get away in the busy fall.

If your kids cannot come, Michelle will be at Trillium
Tuesday-Thursday, however, we have not confirmed
if there will be aftercare on those days.

That's why we want to find out what our families need
and we will try to adjust our staff accordingly.

Remember, every kid needs an adult on the trip.
Ideally, it is a family member,
but if you want to send your child with another family
who will chaperone them, that is OK.

If you are trying to find an adult chapernone, a ride, or camping gear-
let us know what you need and
we will help you.

After the trip, please makes arrangements for your kids
(or the ones you are responsible for).
There will not be anyone at Trillium to recieve them after camping-
the school group will be on a field trip.


Also on the calendar:

* Next week is our award and graduation ceremony.
Every student is recognized at this event,
so we hope you will join us Thursday, June 5th at 6:00.

* Aly is looking for someone (or a few people) to take care of Twitchy
over the summer while she is out of town.
Twitchy is a nice indoor pet and can come home with you,
or can be fed at the school.

PLease let Aly know if you can help.

* Do you have any photos from the school year?
Any event, fieldtrip, or Trillium pictures you have would be perfect
for our yearbook.
Please give a disk or prints to Marianne ASAP.

* Next Wednesday, June 4th,
the fifth graders will go out to lunch with Aly.
This is a special event each spring for the graduating class.
They are going to Tomo, and each student will need $10.00.

* Next Friday, June 6th, the 3-5 grade class is going to Moonstone Beach.
We need parents to drive and stay at the beach
for our annual beach day.

* Monday, June 9th, is water day in the afternoon.
Kids will be allowed to get wet using water toys,
so send towels and dry clothing.

Please pass the word over the summer
that we have spaces available in Aly's class for the fall.
This is quite unusual,
but is also a chance to welcome some new families
who want alternative education for their kids.

That is all the fun we have planned.
We have had a great year with your kids.
Thanks for sharing them.

We'll see you next year,
or if you are moving on, we wish you all the best.

-Marianne & the Trillium Staff
