Dear Friend of Terraset,
 
After a hectic April, it has been a relief to enjoy a quiet May. Mind you, with SOL testing going on for grades 3-6, that's exactly the way it should be.
 
However, there's plenty on its way to entertain the family!
 
On May 27th, don't miss Pack 32's Raingutter Regatta! And you can look forward to another Tigers-on-the-Town event in June. New Families to Terraset are invited to join us. See below for more details.
 
In June the school has the Chorus Concert on the 9th, Band and Strings Concert on the 15th, Field Days on the 21st and 22nd, the Language Arts and Social Science Night - including the Tiger Tales Publishing Party - on the 22nd from 7pm - 8pm, and then the last day of school on Thursday June 24th when the kids will be dismissed at 11:15am.
 
The school will need help organizing all of these June events, so give some thought to when you might be available to help out. Look for more details in our June edition of TouchPoint.

Last Call for Box Tops  
 
Box Tops The kids have been working hard collecting Box Tops all year and last quarter Mrs. Sybert's and Mr. Logan's classes had the highest participation rates. Remember, it is all about participation. While we encourage the kids to collect at least 10 box tops per quarter, if they hand in just one or two they are participating and are counted for their class.
 
So, turn in your Box Tops and Campbell's Labels by June 11th!  There will be a sweet treat for the two classes with the highest participation!  The entire school will be competing so help your class win!  Don't forget to write your name and your teacher's name on the collection sheet or on a baggie so your class gets the credit.

However, please check the dates on your Box Tops!  The expiration dates do matter.  There are many that will be expiring on June 1st, so please turn them in early so Terraset can get the credit.
 
Labels for EducationThanks to everyone for helping us raise over $700 in Box Tops this year.
