Hello 4^th Grade Parents!

We are excited to announce that our annual 4^th Grade Pet Parade is scheduled for Tuesday, May 22^nd at 1:00PM.  The Pet Parade is an extension to a novel that many of our 4^th graders study and embrace, Owls in the Family by Farley Mowat.

Which pets are appropriate to bring? 

Any pet that you have that is:

*        Safe around many, many little children

*        Safe around other pets

*        Not bothered by the sound of LIVE marching drums 

*        Leashed pets or pets that appropriately caged, etc.

How many pets per student? 1

When do the pets come to school? The pets may arrive at 12:40pm but are to stay outside on the sidewalk/grassy area in between Mary Endres and Northwood.  You are invited to parade with your child if you feel the need.  (The parade should end by 1:30pm so if you are interested, you may sign your child out of school early that day with his/her homeroom teacher.)

How do the pets get to school?  Parents need to provide transportation for the pet to and from school.  No pets on the bus or in the school buildingJ.

Please return the bottom portion to your child’s homeroom teacher if your child would like escort a pet in the pet parade.  Please return by May 18^th.
