April 1st - Reading Month/Penny Drive Celebration
First grade won the penny drive!  Our prize is to watch a movie in the gym as a grade level.  We will be watching Toy Story 3 on Friday morning in our pajamas.  Your child may wear his/her pajamas to school that day, bring their favorite stuffed animal and bring their favorite beach towel to sit on during the movie showing:)  We will also be receiving pop and chips in the afternoon as a cummulation prize for reading month.  The pop and chips will both be Michigan made going with our Michigan Road Trip theme!

April 4th - 8th - Sprink Break :)

April 11th - MSU Butterfly Gardens
We will be leaving school around 11:30am to head to MSU to visit the butterfly Gardens.  All parents are welcome to join us there, however there is not enough room on the bus for all of us:)  We plan on arriving there around 12:15, eating lunch outside weather permitting and then visiting the gardens from 1:00-2:00pm.  We must leave by 2:00pm to get back to Hutchings on time.  Your child must pack a sack lunch this day as we will not be at school to eat lunch! We will be returning to Hutchings no later than 3:15pm and your child will be able to ride the bus home from school.  If you have not yet turned in your child's permission slip and money, please do so by this Friday or your child will not be able to attend the field trip with the class. Thank you!

April 12th - Fine Arst Festival (1st, 3rd, 5th grades)
Your child will need to arrive to school betwee 5:30-5:45pm.  We are the first performance and will start promptly at 6:00pm.  Please do not be late as it will be hard to get your child up on stage once the program has begun:)

April 22nd - Good Friday (No School) :)

I think that is it for now....more to come for the end of the year:)   Ms. Benear
