Please have your child's boat at school by Tuesday, June 12th. We are very excited to test and talk about all of the different boat designs.

-proper walking shoes
-sunscreen and bugspray
-shoes suitable to step into Nicholas Sheran Lake
-waterbottle
-towel
-substantial lunch with snacks
-bathing suits should be on underneath clothes

Thank you to Mrs. Earl, Mrs, Kirby, Mrs Toles, Mrs. Gook, Ms. Daychief and Mrs. Cox who will be walking with us to the boat launch site. We will be leaving the school approximately 8:45 am to start making our way to the lake.

Thank you to Mrs. Hagel, Mrs. DeBoer, Mrs. Babe, Mrs. Meerkerk and Mrs. Cook who will help transport boats to and from the launch. We will see the drivers at MMH at 8:30 to load boats.


Henderson Lake Swim Day!
If your child is a weak swimmer please let me know who will be helping supervise your child at this MMH event. There will be many students in the pool and we are doing our best to ensure safety for everyone. If your child requires a lifejacket they need a one to one supervisor in the pool with them. Could you please notify me of your plans to help with your child's safety. I appreciate your support and understanding with this swim day. As of now we are planning to attend this trip but if we do not have enough parent supervisors to ensure safety in the water we may have to reconsider.
