Miss Pellin's Post
June 1st to June 5th

I have enjoyed all my students so much this year!! Thanks to all the parents who have helped make the 2008/2009 school year such a great one! Remember Friday June 5th is an early dismissal day, please plan accordingly. Students will be dismissed at 9:30 am.


YEARBOOKS: will be handed out to students on June 5th. Any students who did not purchase a yearbook may do so on a first-come-first-serve basis on June 5th; they will go on sale after morning announcements. The cost will be $10.00 and children wishing to purchase should have exact amount. Checks can be made out to Prairieview. There is a limited supply. Prairieview yearbook orders were not paid for at registration. A flyer was sent out on November 13, 2008 and orders were due by Monday, December 1, 2008.

Monday, June 1st will be a very busy day for the third graders at Prairieview! In the morning, we will go bowling. In the afternoon, we are fortunate enough to have scientists from “High Touch-High-Tech,” come back to Prairieview, in order to enrich our studies on matter. Please make sure your child has both a signed permission slip and their money in to me if they have not done so already. Your child should bring a sack lunch to school with no peanuts on Monday, June 1st!

On Thursday, June 4th we will have our school picnic! Each child will receive a hot dog, bag of chips and a bottle of water. They will also get their choice of an ice cream bar after they have finished their lunch. If they do not eat hot dogs, they will need to bring their own lunch.

Field Trip: The Chicago boat tour field trip will be on Tuesday, June 2nd. Students can bring $8- $10 to Navy Pier for ice cream or a souvenir. This is optional! Our four parent chaperones for the bus trip will be:


1. Raul's Mom
2. Kaelyn's Mom
3. Paul's Mom
4. Alex's Mom


Please meet us at Prairieview at 9am on June 2nd. We will also have several parents who were invited to meet us at the boat (at ~10:15 am).

1. Jack's Mom
2. Kyle's Mom
3. Zach's Mom
4. Sydney's Mom
5. Maddie's Mom


Each chaperone will be required to pay an additional $6 charge. The buses will return to Prairieview at approximately 2pm. More information will be given out as the field trip approaches. Each child should bring a sack lunch to the boat trip with no peanuts!
