Armstrong Update 5-12-2016

Greetings Armstrong Parents!

 

               We are less than one week away from the last day of school! For many of you, this is a bittersweet reality check as you watch your child wrap-up their final days at Mayo and prepare for their next adventure. Whether that adventure is transitioning to Middle School next year, or simply moving from being a 4^th Grade Armstrong to a 5^th Grade Armstrong, it is a time of reflection, new beginnings and saying goodbye to people who have been a part of your life for many years. Cherish the last few days that you have left of this school year because Tuesday will be here before you know it.

 

 FYIs and Reminders:

 

-          The 5^th Grade Armstrongs will be leading Rendezvous on Monday, May 16^th at 7:55 in the gym. They will be sharing pictures and stories from their trip as well as celebrating June and July birthdays.

 

-          Since no inclement weather days were used this year, the last day of school will be Tuesday May 17th.

 

-          Returning Mayo Students – If your child is a 4^th grade Armstrong and planning on returning to Mayo next year and you haven’t already turned in your form, please stop by the office to fill one out or print the attached one. 

 

Last Day of School – The schedule for the last day of school is attached in the Mayo Times. Please let your child’s homebase teacher know if you have any questions.

 

Volunteer Breakfast- Each year we like to honor those people who graciously give their time to volunteer at Mayo.  If you have volunteered in any way, shape, or form this year you are invited to our Volunteer Breakfast on May 13^th at 7:15 A.M. in the Mayo Library. We appreciate all your hard work! This will be followed by the Lifeskills Awards at 8:15 A.M.

 

5^th Grade Promotion – 5^th Grade Promotion is TONIGHT at 6:30 PM. We will be holding the promotion in the WILSON AUDITORIUM.  We would like the students to be here before 6:15 P.M. so we can get them lined up and ready.  The attire for this event is nice clothes i.e. slacks, dresses, skirts, church attire, etc. The students do not need to bring anything, but we do ask that all 5^th grade students attend.  Following the ceremony, there will be refreshments in the Cafeteria along with the scrapbooks that students have created. 

 

Armstrong Summer Playdates – We will be holding two summer playdates for our incoming 4^th and 5^th grade Armstrongs over the summer. These playdates are not mandatory but they are a great opportunity for the students to get to know new Mayoans and reconnect with old friends. We would love for you to join us if you can! There will be reminder emails sent out during the summer before each event.

 

-          June 21^st – $2 Tuesday Driller’s Game. Join us to watch the game and spend time with friends on the lawn!

-          August 4^th – Come watch “Inside Out” with the Armstrong teachers and other students at the Guthrie Green! 

Also, we are in need of 5^th grade siblings to help us out by being involved with the flag salute at the beginning and handing out programs. Thank you to the 4^th grade parents who volunteered to help with the reception afterward!

 

As always, if you have any questions please feel free to email your child’s homebase teacher, myself Mrs. Smith (embryel@tulsaschools.org) or Mrs. Moore (mooreco2@tulsaschools.org). Have a wonderful weekend!

Goodall Update 5-12-2016

Last Day of School Plans

 

 

Dear Mayo families,

​The last day of school is a few days away! On Tuesday, May 17th, we will celebrate the last day --- Mayo style!  We have many special things planned for this day.  We will have a yearbook signing time, Beach Blanket Bingo, a sprinkler time with our Tulsa Fire Department friends, and a frosty treat. There is a schedule on the back of this letter with detailed times.  

It will be a Spirit Day. Please wear regular uniform bottoms and a Mayo Spirit Shirt. 

​Your Goodall needs to bring his or her swimsuit to change into or he/she may wear their suit under their Mayo Spirit Gear. Your child also needs to bring a beach towel (labeled with your child’s name) to sit on in the gym or cafeteria during Bingo Time.  Please send 1-2 fun, but reasonably healthy snacks and a juice box for “munchies” during Beach Blanket Bingo. Some snack ideas could be raisins, chips, popcorn, fruit, cookies, but please do not send all candy!

Your student will need a labeled plastic sack to bring wet things home in.  Also, be sure to send/wear sturdy shoes thatcan get wet.  Flip flops or other shoes that will fall off easily should not be sent.  

​

Thank you,

 

The Mayo Staff
