SOS

Pickles, our lovable and famous 4X Guinea Pig needs a good summer  
home.  She has a home for the fall but needs summer care because her  
new owners will be traveling all summer.  She is only a about one year  
old, very tame, and lovable.  Pickles comes with a cage, water bottle,  
starter supply of food and cage bedding.  Her cage only needs cleaning  
once a week and she can be left with food and water for long  
weekends.  If you have room in your heart and home for Pickles or know  
someone who can care for her please, call or e-mail Pam or Merry.

MIDDLE SCHOOL WELCOME EVENT
We wanted to invite all of the fourth grade families to join us on  
Sunday, June 5th from 2:00-4:00 in the MS wetland gardens (the space  
between the MS and the US) for an ice cream social.  This will be a  
great opportunity to hang-out with other MS families (current and  
new).  We will be conducting a modified scavenger hunt that day, so  
please let us know if your rising fifth grader was unable to attend  
the scavenger hunt earlier this month. We look forward to seeing you  
and welcoming you to the Middle School!
All the best-
Andrea and Sung Hee

CANNED INSTEAD OF FRESH VEGGIES!
Please send your student to school with a canned vegetable or fruit  
the next two Wednesdays and help us make sure that the food pantries  
have supplies for needy families during the summer! Donated foods will  
be delivered to Martha's Pantry and A Wider Circle.
