Director’s Corner
I want to start by saying thank you to all of
you for your help in making our book fair and
cookie dough sale a success! We raised over
$2500 for our school, and I appreciate all of
your hard work and dedication. We are
extremely lucky at the Campus School to have
such wonderful parental support!
We will begin our new study in April on
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Our Recycling Fair
was such a success last year that we are going
to do it again this year! Students can make any
art project of any kind at home out of recycled
material. They will also do a class project that
will be displayed. Our Recycling Fair will be on
Monday, April 22nd, on Earth Day.

May will be a very exciting month! We will
have our Carol Merrill Dance and Gymnastics Recital on Sunday, May 5th, at
3:00 p.m. at Bibb Graves Auditorium. Rehearsal at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, May
3rd, is mandatory for all who will be participating. Our big End of the Year
Program will be on Thursday, May 23rd, that morning at Wallace Hall
auditorium. This will include all Campus School students, and we will be
highlighting the Kindergarten class as they graduate from the Campus School.
We are so excited about our upcoming Summer Program. Make sure your
registration forms and money are in so that your child is on our roll. Next
month’s newsletter will have a sneak peek of all the fun activities that we have
planned!

I hope everyone had a Hoppy Easter! We are really in the home stretch now… Only a month and a half left of
Kindergarten! This month we will wrap up our reading homework as well as our Tree Study. We are also
preparing for our end of the year graduation program and we hope you make plans to attend in May. Also this
month we hope to get out and enjoy the spring weather by making a visit to Lake LU with our science journals!
Things we will discuss in detail are , Recycling, Earth Day, Spring, and one of my favorites…. Turning trash into
treasure! We will do our annual recycled art show. The kids/parents come up with the most creative stuff. Make
sure you check it out.

March was a busy month! We learned all about trees, took a tree walk and used our magnifying glasses to
explore the campus, learned what deciduous and evergreen means, learned about St. Patrick’s Day and
shamrocks, discussed what is harmful and helpful to trees, had soccer lessons, celebrated Julianne’s birthday
party at her house with a petting zoo, had SWAP with Dr. Minear’s class, and learned what animals live in trees.
We even built a leprechaun trap but did not catch that sneaky leprechaun. He messed up our rooms, left green
footprints on our tables, and left treats scattered all over the floor! We also went on an Egg Hunt at Circle S
Ranch and had so much fun. The Easter Bunny even showed up! In April, we will be wrapping up our tree unit and
starting our Reduce, Reuse, Recycle unit. We will attend a performance of the Mississippi Symphony Orchestra,
take a field trip to Carol Merrill’s studio, and have our annual Recycling Fair. We will also have volleyball lessons
in April. Please sign up for email updates on our blog to keep up with our busy lives at

I hope everyone had a great spring break! March was full of fun. We studied about trees and learned that there
are evergreen and deciduous trees. We learned about the parts of the trees also. We had a field trip to Julianne’s
house to visit a petting zoo. Well, that sneaky leprechaun visited our school and made a mess! We decided not to
be too mad since he left us treasures and candy. We also visited the Circle S Farms and had an egg hunt, where
we met the Easter Bunny. This month we will continue to learn about trees and then begin our Reduce, Reuse,
Recycle unit. Happy Spring!

March came in like a lion and left like a lamb. We were so busy; the month really went by super fast. Your
support during our cookie dough sale and book fair are greatly appreciated. There were so many activities
surrounding those events and your help made each one of them possible. We enjoyed going on our field trip to

the Circle S Ranch in Kewanee, Mississippi and SWAP with Dr. Minear’s senior class. In April, we will continue to
study trees. Along with the tree unit, we will also explore weather, spring, and Earth Day. Last year, we made
trash projects to show how much fun recycling can be. We will do this again this year. Please continue to watch
for updates on our blog. Again, thanks so much for your continued support of the school. Check us out on our
