Declamations, a Holiday, and Malcom X!

Dear Soundview Family, 

Congratulations to the fifth grade class for presenting today’s assembly about the trait of the month: “knowledgeable.” Look for a link to the recorded assembly in next week’s Toddle announcements from teachers. 

Just a few reminders: 

• Middle School Declamations performance is next Thursday, May 25, 4:00 to 5:30 PM in the Soundview Performing Arts Center. All Soundview families and friends are welcome to attend. This is an annual Design Class project in which every middle school student participates in a variety show format. 

• There is no school on Monday, May 29 or Tuesday, May 30 for Memorial Day and report card writing. School resumes on Wednesday, May 31. 

• Soundview has a schedule of events and activities for the end of the school year celebrations. Look for details in next Friday’s letter. 

Enjoy your weekends, 

Chris
