Happy Monday Younger Kid Families!

As the students zoom past the 100th day of school, a lot of other fun things are happening around the school! 

We are transitioning from Light and Sound to Westward Expansion! This week we will be talking about the Louisiana Purchase. We will talk about how small the United States was and how much bigger it was made with one single deal. This will set up the foundation for us to talk about Lewis and Clark next week. We will also be learning about a new author of the month. Our author for this month is Faith Ringgold. 

With our first round of conferences done, we have a normal week of school this week before another four day week. This week starts the priority enrollment for summer camps! It may seem far away, but summer will be here faster than you know it! The camps fill up quickly so be sure to sign up as soon as you can.

Next week, in addition to the second round of conferences, is also Rivendell Has Heart Week! This is our spirit week where students will be showing their love for their school and reaching out to help the community by decorating meal bags for Meals on Wheels and by donating non perishable foods to the Fort Collins Food bank over the course of the week! Students are also encouraged to dress up each day based on the Theme. Monday is Crayon Day, Tuesday is Sports Day, Wednesday is Mix/Match Day, and Thursday is Rivendell Day!  

Have a great week and as always, thank you for sharing your children with us!
