I hope you all have been able to spend more time outside than inside this weekend!  Spring is a very busy time in and out of school, so there are a lot of things coming up.


Wednesday, May 24 - Day long Field Trip to Leonard's Mills
       If you have not returned the permission slip yet for this trip, please do so as as soon as possible!!  I am still missing a few. Some important notes for this trip - we will be gone the whole school day, and will be outside for about 6 hours.  We will be going no matter what the weather is, so if it looks like rain, send their rain gear as well.  Right now, the forecast is calling for a chance of showers, but keep your fingers crossed for a pleasant day.

Please send your student to school this Wednesday with sunscreen on, and already sprayed with bug spray, wearing sneakers.    Because it has been so wet, it is likely to be very buggy there, and this is also a bad year for ticks.

Wednesday, May 31 -  Tour of Old Town Field Trip
Permission slips and more information are coming home this week. Please sign the permission form and get them back ASAP!

Wednesday, May 31 - The OTES Annual Pancake Breakfast is coming up!  The breakfast is open to all families and is FREE!  Please come on May 31st from 7:00-8:30am and enjoy bacon, eggs, fruit, juice, and coffee.  This wonderful breakfast is sponsored by our OTES PTC

Tuesday, June 13 - Old Town Airport/Forestry/OT Museum Field Trip
details and permission slip to come.


Last Friday was World of Work Day at OTES, and the Third Grade had a busy morning learning about the Arts from the Next Generation Theater. We also learned what it takes to be a chef, a TV reporter, a TV cameraman, a Hair Stylist, and a Wildlife Management professional.  Many thanks to our presenters, and to Mrs.Wilcox for organizing this eye-opening day!
