PTA MEETING, TONIGHT, JUNE 2
Join us for the PTA meeting TONIGHT, June 2nd at 8pm. We will finalize our board officers, announce the Harriet Best award winner and say thank you to our teachers leaving FHES.

If you'd like to be a chair for next year or have a creative way we could handle some of our typical events in the new COVID-19 era, let us know!

CELEBRATE 6TH GRADERS THIS WEEK
While our 6th graders are not having a formal in person send-off this year, there are some small things we can do to wish them well. Check out Celebrate 6 virtual Spirit Week this week to make a 6th graders day! Info here. Post at Freedom Hill ES Community or post on Twitter.

Thursday - Message 6 Day - Create a graduation message to the 6th graders and post it.
Friday - Spirit 6 Day - Wear red, white or FHES gear and share 6 fingers!

END OF YEAR NOTES
If you haven't heard from your room parent on an End of Year gift for teachers and want to help with that, be sure to reach out to them. Also be sure to take note of this info published in Dr. Z's newsletter which has specific info for next year and next week's school pick up times.

DONATE BOOKS AT EOY PICK UP

As you do end of year pick-up, please consider donating gently loved books at that time in the box near the FHES library/bookroom returns. FHES staff was able to give away hundreds of books to students who felt they needed them on Thursday, March 12 from our Bookmobile book collection. Please consider replenishing our Bookmobile collection with books you are looking to donate. Highly engaging books, including fiction or nonfiction; board books, picture books, chapter books and/or Young Adult, are best. Contact Melissa Rossman with Q's.

VIRTUAL FIELD DAY

Get ready for an exciting event with Mr. Dowling and Mrs. Trzcinski! We will be hosting the first ever Virtual Field Day! Information can be found on the PE Google Site under the Virtual Field Day tab (be sure to login as a student in Google). Each day two new activities will be posted for you to compete to work as a team with your family. Also get ready for some fun spirit days! Our theme this year is Summer Olympics. Thank you and we look forward to the pictures and memories you share!

SPROUT SCHOOL SUPPLY KITS
Our Back to School Supply Kits with Sprout have been set up here. These are the supply kits delivered to school in time for the first day in Fall. It's an easy way to get your back-to-school shopping done in minutes and never leave home - especially when supplies may be the hot ticket item in fall! The exact, teacher approved supplies for every grade are listed here. To order them through Sprout, you visit www.sproutsupplies.com (our School Code is FHES001). We did ask Sprout what happens if we have distance learning in fall. Their response was anybody can cancel their order until June 30th so keep that in mind. Some families may want the supplies regardless if there is distance learning at home. The flier is here with more details.

READATHON PRIZES
Remaining Readathon prizes will go home in student bags next week so if you had something, look out for it there.
