Ezra Edition May 1, 2015 You’ve Got Mail . . . From Mrs. Deremer, Principal 14111 Blondo Street Omaha, NE 68164 402-715-2955 School Hours : School starts at 8:30 A.M. Dismissal at 3:45 P.M. Wednesday dismissal at 2:15 P.M. Dear Ezra Parents/Guardians, It was so nice to meet all of our 2015-16 kindergarteners here today. As I walked around the classrooms, it looked like they already knew the routine and were ready to learn! Thanks to our kindergarten staff and Mrs. VanderWal for all of their prep work. Ezra’s Boosterthon Fun Run took place this past Monday, April 27th. It was great seeing so many kids give their all to run so many laps! Boosterthon was a huge success thanks to you and your incredible fundraising efforts! We are pleased to announce that we have surpassed our original goal of $30,000 for our playground renovation. Final figures are not yet in, but we will let you know the final results once all pledges and donations have been accounted for. We are still accepting donations if you would like to take part and have not yet had a chance to. Please make any checks payable to Ezra PTO. Thanks again for your generosity in helping us get a new playground for our students! We also had performances by our Ezra Treble Makers, Band, and Orchestra students at our Spring Concert on Monday. We had a wonderful turnout, and the music was certainly enjoyed by all. Thank you to Ms. Tierney, Mr. Wisniewski, and Mrs. Keiser for their dedication working with our students. We certainly have a lot of talent here at Ezra. We will be having auditions very soon for our annual “Ezra’s Got Talent” Asset Showcase on Wednesday, May 13th, after school. The audition is ONLY open to 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders. An information packet and consent form are being sent home in the students’ Friday folders this week. Please email Ms. Tierney at [email protected] with any questions. Thank you, and have a great weekend!

Students in grades K-4 are encouraged to get creative! Using our SOAR theme (be Safe, On task, Always respectful, Responsible), and our Ezra mascot, the eagle, create a design for the cover of next year’s Friday folder. Students in grades K-4 will receive more information in their Friday folders. Designs need to be turned in to their teacher by Friday, May 8th. 2015 NEIGHBORHOOD SPRING CLEAN UP EVENT SATURDAY, MAY 2ND DROP OFF ITEMS FROM 9:00 AM TO 2:00 PM EZRA PARKING LOT With the end of the year quickly approaching, we would like to encourage all families to check the lost and found box in the lobby.
