***Parents please e-mail or send us a note if you are willing to get the 4th grade end of the year party plans together for both classes. It would be great if we had a parent from each room to work together and get other parents to help.  The OFFICE has to know BY APRIL 30th what the class is planning.  Thanks so much for your help in advance. :)

After the program, students, parents, and teachers will dismiss to the Math/Science Complex to begin the activities.  We will finish around 12:00 and go to Zaxby's for lunch. Please make sure your child has enough money for lunch.

***We are so excited to announce the upcoming "Night of the Stars" Talent Show! 
Every grade at PLAS is invited to participate in the talent show.  Students may plan a one-person act or a group presentation. 
The focus for the show is on talent.  This will not be a competitive event; rather, it will be an opportunity for students to share their strengths. 
Some examples of appropriate activities are:  gymnastics, athletic routines/dance, magic acts, martial arts, stand-up comedy, singing, skits, or instrumental performances. 
The talent show will take place in the Cafetorium on Thursday, May 15, at 6:30 pm.  Admission is $5 and PLAS students will be $3. 
Forms are available in the front office.
If you have any questions please contact Natalie Lankford or Charlotte Walden.

***If you have photos from field trips please send them to bduncan@pikelib.com so they can be included in the yearbook! THANKS!!!!!
