Welcome to the KinderNews. This newsletter will be sent home each Friday or last day of the school week. It will update you on the activities we do each week. I will print snack reminders and special events coming up. You can also view the KinderNews on my Fast Direct bulletin board.

At the bottom of the newsletter is a form for Church and Sunday School attendance. We give quarterly awards for perfect Church and Sunday School attendance. Regular Church attendance is important to your family's faith growth. Please fill out the form and return in your child's folder on Monday.

Following are ways you can stay in touch with me: cell phone 618-317-5452 (call or text), school phone 282-3873 ext. 216, Fast Direct, e-mail bschmitz@stjohnsredbud.org

Attached last week to this note was a pink or blue bunny. Attach it to a math homework assignment and you can "HOP" over the assignment (turn it in without doing the work and still get a sticker.)

The first grade and Kindergarten students will be participating in a Service Project collecting summer snacks for students for the Royal Table, Musketeer Market and for students from St. John's. We will use 2 Thrivent Matching cards to purchase some of the snacks, but will also rely on donations of snacks or cash from our church and school families. We are collecting the following snacks: fruit snacks, granola bars, applesauce, small packs of cookies, crackers, breakfast bars, pop tarts and small bags of chips. There will be a collection place in the front lobby, look for the pool! Later in May, we will sort the snacks into bags of 10.

Our next memory assignment will be said on Tuesday, April 30.

Kindergarten and first grade field trip to the St. Louis Zoo is Thursday, May 1. We will travel by bus or car. A permission form was sent home today. The permission form and money should be returned by Friday, April 25. We will leave right after morning prayer and announcements, about 8:20. You may come into the classroom with your child. Students should wear their blue Heaven Bound theme t-shirts. Remember to bring your lunch or $ to buy it at the zoo. Students will not need their backpack on Thursday.

On April 25 we will be traveling by bus to Christ Our Savior Lutheran High School for an afternoon of agricultural fun. Students will travel by bus, or may ride with a parent who is going. The bus will leave school at 12:15 and return by 2:39. Please return the form sent home on Thursday, by April 17.

Coming Events:
Friday, April 25 Christ Our Savior LHS Agriculture Day
Monday, May 5 AG Day at RBHS, leaving school at 12:45 to walk to HS
