April 11th-June 7th Our Mission: Assure high levels of learning for all students. The Gordon Way: afe, eamwork,

ct Respectfully, esponsible

PE with Mr. “B” Spring is in the Air! I hope you all had a happy spring break! As the weather improves, and the field begins to dry out, hopefully we will be able to get outside for some fun in the sun PE activities. We look forward to capture the flag, football, soccer activities, and some kick ball! We continue to provide opportunities for all students to be active and successful. I am happy to say that your students know what good sportsmanship is and continue to practice, one of our most important learning targets, in PE. As we begin the last trimester of the year k-2 will be having some fun scooter activities while grades 3-8 will begin rollerblading the week of April 10th. Thanks to our generous PTA, Gordon has rollerblades and protective gear for your kids to use. However, your child may also bring their own rollerblades, skates, helmets…to use if they wish. This is a favorite activity of many students. If you could help your child by making sure they wear socks and know what their shoe size is I would really appreciate that! Attention Girls in grades 5 and up! NK Boosters VIKING CAMP for VIKING VOLLEYBALL is scheduled for June 26-29. This is a great camp designed for girls of all skill levels that are interested in playing volleyball. Contact Tim French, 360 620 0501, for questions and registration.

Important Dress Code Reminder

With warmer weather arriving soon, please assist your child in remembering to dress appropriately for school.  Proper Shoes – no flip flops or sandals without straps to secure them to their feet as they can be unsafe on the playground and during PE.  Halter tops, spaghetti-strap tops, tank tops, midriff shirts, bathing suits, shorts (shorter than fingertips), or other revealing attire are considered disruptive to the educational process, and therefore are not permitted.

Thank you so much for your help! Our lost and found is quickly growing. Please put your students name in their jackets so we can return them. Anything left without a name will be donated at the end of the year to charity.
