Thank you for a wonderful school year! A reminder that dismissal today is at 11:00 for Beverly Manor and 11:30 for John L. Hensey. Have a safe summer!

Shout-out to the Wildcat Community for going above and beyond to support the Greater Peoria Honor Flight! Thanks to your amazing fundraising efforts, we presented a check to our Veterans this morning. Way to go, Wildcats! 🐾

Here are some more pictures from the activities fair!

🚨 Attention Parents of 4th–7th Graders 🚨 If your child suddenly says they want to join 17 clubs, 4 sports, and possibly become class president next year… today is why. 😂 The activity fair was a HUGE success! 🎉 Be sure to ask your student tonight what clubs and sports sparked their interest for next year. You might be surprised by their new career plans. 😅🏀🎭📚

*Kindergarten Registration* - Come to John L Hensey to get your Kindergarten student registered before the office is closed for the summer!

Office hours this week: Monday - Wednesday 8:30-3:00 and Thursday 8:30-11:00
Office hours next week: Tuesday - Thursday 8:30-2:00

Please call Cori Pettit at 309-745-3625 with any questions.

It’s the final countdown, Wildcats! 🐾 We’re officially trading our pencils for popsicles. Enjoy the sun, soak up the Vitamin D, and remember: reading is 're-leafing' (okay, that was a stretch, but just open a book, please!) 📖☀️

Summer is almost here! Do you want your kids to jump out of bed and socialize this summer? Sign them up for 1 or more Summer Sessions of Camp Game Club! Spots are filling up fast, and incoming 4th - 8th (current 3rd-7th graders) are welcome to join us! We have tons of board games, card games, and video games to enjoy together! Pre-register before the end of the school year! Email jmansfield@d50schools.com with any questions!

Good Morning, who likes ice cream? Tonight is an Ice Cream fundraiser at Ice Cream Shack from 3-9. A percentage of sales will go to raising money for new playground equipment.

Come through to the Extracurricular Fair! It’s a student-only zone where you can get the tea on every sport and club at Beverly Manor.

Talk to the coaches and current students to see what’s actually up. No parents, no pressure—just you finding your new squad. See you there! ✌️

Congrats to the following: Ava Kaufmann going to state in the hurdles: 18.87 Max going to state in the 100: 11.35 and 200: 24.04 (he beat both school records from 1985) Mason Joos is going to state in 800: 2:26.1

Don't forget that if your student is trying out for a sport, even if it is next year, they need a current sports physical on file.

Let's win a pool party!

Mark your calendars for May 12 from 3-9! 🍦 The PTC is doing a fundraiser at The Ice Cream Shack in Sunnyland where 10% of all sales goes towards buying some new playground equipment. 🛝

Last chance, if you are interested in purchasing armbands for good Neighbor days have your students pick up a flier form the office. They are due back May 11th.
