I enjoyed seeing many of you at the Prairieview Elementary School Open House. Remember that Thursday, April 24th school will be dismissed at 11:00 am!
We will be taking a field trip to Downers Grove on Monday April 21st! The day will include a bus tour of the town, stops at various historical locations, and a lunch buffet at Giordano's Pizza in Downers Grove. The cost of lunch is $7 for your child. Any parent who would like to join us for lunch is welcome. We should be there at about 11:15 am.
The lunch staff would like to remind you that you should buy several lunch tickets at once. Do not go to the office to buy individual tickets unless it is an emergency.
On Friday, April 18th we will wear our favorite rock group, choir, or band shirt. On Friday, April 25th dress up in the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's or 90's apparel.
Also, are there any parent volunteers who would like to go with the class to the Field Museum on Monday? Please email me and let me know. Thank you!
