TOMORROW IS A SPIRIT DAY! If your child has a shirt from the Goodall Overnight, please have them wear it tomorrow, with normal Mayo bottoms!!! ☺ We’d like to take a picture.
***SHOOTS!!! YOU HAVE A SPELLING TEST TOMORROW!!***
Lost Something??
We still have many “found” items that were left behind after our Overnight Trip. They are up in the Goodall area. If you’re missing a jacket, other clothing, towels, etc., please come and check. Soon, we will bag them up and send them to charity.

Getting Messy and Having Fun with What Bugs You
We had some really great visitors this week! On Tuesday, the OSU Master Gardeners came out and did a presentation with our students called “Spiders and Insects: Friend or Foe?” They learned facts about spiders and insects in the presentation. They also made a Spider Hat, sorted facts and opinions about spiders, played Pollinator Tag, made a dirt cup snack with pudding and Oreos (complete with gummy worm), and played Bug-Go (like Bingo). It was a fun and educational day!

Wednesday and Thursday, Robert Lewis (who you may remember as the storyteller from last year’s overnight!) came out and taught our students about clay. He also guided them through the building/designing of a clay “pinch pot”. Students will be decorating these before bringing them home after Student-Led Conferences.
A BIG THANK YOU!
Tomorrow is Ms. Tandy’s official last day at Mayo. The Goodall teachers and students have enjoyed her stay and appreciated all her hard work and assistance. If you see her tomorrow, please tell her thank you and let her know you wish her well on her journey to become a classroom teacher!! I’m sure she’d also appreciate hugs and handshakes from students.
