Thorson Thursday Folderar
June 1, 2023
Wear Bulldogs or Orange and Black Tomorrow
A Note from the Principal
Dear Thorson Families,
Today was the first day of our Thorson Summer Countdown. We started off with Throson spirit wear day today. Tomorrow, students will have the opportunity to get together with their buddy classes. Tomorrow will also be the district’s annual CHS graduate walk through. The graduating class of 2023 will walk through each elementary school, going back to where they began their career. We invite students and staff to wear bulldog gear or orange/black to school tomorrow!
We are looking forward to a fun last week of school, with an all-school assembly and lunch outside with staff on Wednesday, our all-school PBIS field trip to the Rivoli (K-3) and Skateland (4-5) on Thursday, and our annual Field Day on Friday. We still have a few volunteer spots available for field day, so please consider helping if you are able. Click here to sign up. Also, please be sure to watch for communication from your child’s teacher regarding details for all of these events.
All student chromebooks and charging cords will need to be returned to school by the end of the school day on June 9th. If a chromebook and/or charging cord is not returned by the required time, the chromebook and/or charging cord will be considered lost and the student's skyward account will be charged the replacement cost of the chromebook and/or charging cord. If the chromebook and/or cord is returned late, the lost charge will be converted to a $25 non-refundable late charge. If you have any questions, please contact the IT department at aengevold@cedarburg.k12.wi.us.
Tomorrow is the last day to bring in items for the Girl Scout Humane Society Donation Drive. Thanks to those who have already contributed items. Click here to see the wish list. Thank you for your help!
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Angela Little, Principal
Scott May, Assistant Principal

Get your school supplies now for next year!
The PTO has organized a school supplies kit service for the next school year again for anyone who is interested! The Write Stuff is a woman-owned company located not too far away in Elburn, IL They provided great service for us the past 3 years!
This service offers you the opportunity to purchase a kit that includes all the items on your child's school supplies list for 2023-24. It is completely optional! The benefit is that it helps you avoid the rush in August trying to find that [insert specific color] notebook or other item that you wouldn't expect to be hard to find (spoken from experience). The bonus is that you are able to edit your kit to remove anything you already have (eg, markers or pencils leftover from this year or headphones that you don't need more of). This service does not benefit the PTO in any way (e.g., it is not a fundraiser).
The Thorson Elementary School The Write Stuff store is now open at www.write-stuff.com/storefront/school/thorson. There is free delivery to the school (in August) if you order by June 15th. The store will remain open until July 15th (standard delivery fees apply after 6/15). Instructions are included in the attached flyer. The 2023-24 school supplies lists can be found here. There are a couple of things that are on the list that The Write Stuff doesn't carry (eg, art smocks, backpacks.)
Please contact Kassy Bartelme at 651-894-2224 or kmbartelme@gmail.com with any questions!
Thorson Green Squad
Garden Boxes Sign up Link
The Thorson PTO graciously granted each grade level a planter box! We are looking for volunteers to each take a week and help tend to our boxes throughout summer. We have 7 total planter boxes so feel free to bring a friend or two! We would like each volunteer to take a week where they come to pull weeds, water plants (watering can and water provided), and harvest any crops. You are welcome to keep what you pick, give it away, or donate it. If you run any clubs and would like to bring them on your sign up date that would also be great, feel free to share your week with others! Mrs. Papke can also sign papers for any service hours if you volunteer. This is a great learning opportunity for our students, but it cannot be successful without your help! We truly appreciate it! Depending on what each class plants, you may not have much to do on your week or quite a bit of work, so thanks for being flexible! In the past volunteers have come every other day to check on the plants. I have the sign up going all the way until August, but you may come and see that things have died and just need to be pulled, that would also be appreciated.There is a gray box with the hose faucet key ( it is gray and says custodial on it, just put it in and turn left) and watering cans! Thanks again!
5th Grade Band
If you wish to return your rental instrument over the summer, students can simply turn in their instruments immediately after their band concert. Mr. Aswegan or Mr. Westgate will instruct students where to place their instruments at the conclusion of their concert. Here is the end of the year band schedule.
