S & S Elementary School 
Dear Parents:
Tomorrow is our annual Field Day and we hope for great weather.
If it is raining, we will move the events into the gym and the cafeteria and do as many as we can tomorrow.
We will make it a fun activity for all of our students regardless so plan to come and enjoy the day with them.
The Cookie Dough should be delivered on May 22nd. We will call those who had large orders as soon as we know when it will be dropped off so you can come early to get your cookie dough picked up.
Have a great weekend and as always, thank you for all you do.
Sincerely,
Terry Martin, Principal

We are planning our first annual Career day and need our parents and community members to help.
If you would be willing to come up and share 10-15 minutes of your day with the children to talk about your job and what you do every day, please contact Mrs. Lancaster so she can add you to the schedule.
We want as many different careers as we can possibly get.
We have Career Day scheduled for Wednesday, May 28th.
Congratulations!!!
Cole Baze, our kindergarten student, won his class in Bullriding in Lane, Oklahoma last Saturday with a 6.28 second ride.
Great job Cole!!!
