Thorson Thursday Folder
June 2, 2022
A Note from the Principal
Dear Thorson Families,
The staff and I are looking forward to a fun last week to celebrate all of our successes this year with your children. I would like to take this opportunity to THANK YOU for your support throughout this school year. We had a wonderful year. I would also like to thank our Thorson PTO for all of the support they provide the teachers, our students, and the school as a whole. We are so lucky to have such a generous and supportive community.
We wish the 5th graders farewell and know that they are well prepared for their journey in middle school. We look forward to hearing about the great things that they do in the years to come. We also bid farewell to any families who are seeing their last child move on from Thorson this year and any families who are moving and leaving Thorson. Thank you for all you have done to support what we do at Thorson in your time here. We wish you all the best.
The spring MAP (Measure of Academic Performance) Reading and Math assessment reports have been uploaded to Skyward Family Access for students in grades 5K-5. Please take a moment to view your child’s MAP report by clicking on ‘Portfolio and Reports’ from the left sidebar. Then click on Click on “NWEA MAP Winter 2022”. If you have any questions regarding the MAP report, please contact your child’s classroom teacher.
Next week we have two fun events going on to close out our school year. On Monday, June 6, we will have our annual Field Day event. Grade levels will rotate through fun games and activity stations throughout the day. Please make sure your child has a water bottle and is dressed appropriately for the weather that day.
On the last day of school, Thursday, June 9, we will be having an all-school field trip to Cedar Creek Park. This is our final PBIS all-school celebration. Students in K-2 will be at the park from 9:30-11:45 and will be bussed to and from the park. Students in grades 3-5 will be walking to and from the park and will be there from 11:45-1:45. All students will be eating lunch at the park. Hot lunch is available and will be a bag lunch option. Students will participate in a variety of fun activities at the park, including choosing their own ice cream treat from the What’s the Scoop ice cream truck, compliments of our Thorson PTO. Thank you, PTO, for sponsoring this portion of the trip!
Here’s to a great final week of the 2021-22 school year. Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Angela Little, Principal
Brittany Kleeba, Assistant Principal

Green Team
Green Squad is looking to fill a few more slots for helping with our new planter boxes! Please sign-up!
Help the Thorson Green Team by turning your Coca-Cola product purchases into donations to Thorson. You can donate by going to coke.com/give/schools and selecting Thorson Elementary. Then scan or enter product codes from participating products. Codes are located on the inside of caps or printed inside cardboard cases. If you don't have the time, please bring the codes to school and put them in the RED bucket inside the front doors. Donations received will be used to fund Green Team projects at Thorson.
Thorson is renewing its interest in the Crayola ColorCycle program. This program converts old markers into energy as well as wax compounds for asphalt and roofing shingles. The process repurposes the entire marker, regardless of the different kinds of plastics or how they are assembled. ALL brands of markers, highlighters and dry erase markers can be recycled. Markers can be placed in the WHITE bucket near the front doors or in the GREEN buckets throughout the building.
Absent/Late Arrival-
If you are going to be late or absent, please call the Thorson attendance line at 262-376-6766 before 9:00 a.m. Please state your student's first and last name, teacher, and the reason for the absence. If you are going to be late and are taking hot lunch, please let us know your child's lunch choice by calling the school office at 262-376-6705.
