Thorson Thursday Folder
April 13, 2023
A Note from the Principal
Dear Thorson Families,
Happy 4th Quarter! The students and staff have certainly been enjoying the weather this week! We have taken the opportunity to use our outdoor spaces whenever possible. Students have been reading outside, participating in physical education class outside, and of course thoroughly enjoying their recess this week. Looking at the forecast ahead, it looks like the weather will unfortunately be cooling down, so please be sure that your child is prepared for outdoor recess next week.
Your child’s third quarter progress report has been posted in Skyward. Please see the directions in the Thursday Folder email sent today for how to access it. Please review your child’s report at your earliest convenience!
Students in Grades 3-5 participated in some portions of the ELA Forward Assessment this week. We are so proud of the hard work and effort our students are putting in on this important assessment. Testing continues next week on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Thank you for continuing to ensure that your child is in attendance, well rested, and comes to school with a charged chromebook.
Next week is severe weather awareness week in Wisconsin. The Cedarburg Schools will be participating in the statewide tornado drill next Thursday. We will discuss safety practices both prior to and following the tornado drill with our students. It is important for us to communicate the importance of preparedness with our students and affirm that we practice these drills to help us stay safe.
Finally, our annual Stuff the Bus Food Drive kicks off next week. We are excited to partner with the Saukville Community Food Pantry and the other Cedarburg elementary schools to participate in this great service learning project. Our Thorson Student Council is helping to lead this project. Thank you for considering donating nonperishable food items for this cause. See below for more information about the food drive.
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Angela Little, Principal
Scott May, Assistant Principal

Thorson's Student Council
Teacher Appreciation Week is coming up on May 8-12! The student council has a special project that we will be making for all of the teachers. We are hoping that students can help us with this project by drawing a picture or writing a letter to any teacher at Thorson. There is no limit to how many pictures and notes students can create. Here is a possible note that your child could print and a list of teachers that your child could reference. Please make sure that your child has the teacher's name on it, along with his/her name. Please turn in any letters or drawings to your child's teacher by Monday, April 24th. We know that everyone is super busy, so thank you in advance for your help!
Stuff the Bus Food Drive
Parkview, Thorson and Westlawn Elementary Schools are excited to be working together to STUFF THE BUS with non-perishable items for Saukville Community Food Pantry for it’s 5th year! Saukville Community Food Pantry serves over 550 families a month in Ozaukee County through their 7 different food programs. Food drives like Stuff the Bus can help refill the shelves due to the increased use of the pantry during this difficult time. Your food donation makes a big difference! Items most needed are canned fruits and vegetables, pasta and sauce, rice, peanut butter and jelly, canned chunky soups, Manwich, dry cereal, ketchup, mayonnaise, granola bars, soap, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, toothpaste, and shaving items.
All donated items can be brought into school the week of April 17th -21st. On Friday, April 21 st all donated items will be picked up and delivered to the food pantry.
If you would like to make a monetary donation to the Saukville Community Food Pantry instead of a food donation, you can Venmo the pantry directly at @saukvillefoodpantry.
We are also still in need of volunteers to help us unload and sort the donations, you can sign up here to help us with that.
Thank you for participating in the 5th Annual Stuff the Bus Food Drive!
