Thorson Weekly Notes April 25, 2024 Milwaukee Bucks Day Tomorrow-Wear your Bucks gear!!!-GO BUCKS!

A Note from the Principal Dear Thorson Families, While our Wisconsin weather continues to be a bit unpredictable, we were excited to have a beautiful day on Monday (Earth Day) for our Green Squad clean up day. The students and staff did a wonderful job cleaning up our school grounds. Thank you to the Green Squad for all of their work in arranging this activity. Also, don’t forget that the Green Team is collecting gently worn, used, or new sneakers. Every pair makes a difference to raise money for our Green Squad and to keep sneakers out of landfills. In PTO news, we will be having our ThorSON Olympics boys event this weekend. The event is this Sunday (4/28) from 1:00-3:30 p.m. at Thorson. We are looking forward to a great event. See below for more details. Also, mark your calendars for our next PTO meeting, which will be held on Monday, May 13 at 7:00 p.m. in the Community Room. Looking ahead, Friday, May 10 is an Early Release Day, so please mark your calendars. K-5 students will be dismissed at 1:45 p.m. 4K will run their modified early release day schedule.  Have a great weekend! Sincerely,  Angela Little, Principal Scott May, Assistant Principal New and Exciting Thorson Green Team Did you know that your gently worn sneakers could help the Thorson Green Team? Well, they can and here’s how… Starting April 8, our team is participating in a fundraiser where there is nothing to buy or sell; All we need is your support and your gently worn, used, or new sneakers! Start in closets and gather as many pairs of sneakers that you no longer want; maybe you’ve out-grown them, they’re out of style, or out of season. We can only accept athletic shoes.  No other shoes please.  You can ask your neighbors and friends to help out. Every pair counts! Please bring the sneakers to school and place them in the collection container inside the front doors.  The sneakers that we all collect will help raise money to support our program AND will help our environment by keeping sneakers out of landfills. CCSF Color Rush(free t-shirt if you register by May 8th) Kicking off the summer while honoring the hard work of local students and teachers, the Color Rush created by Cedarburg Community Scholarship Fund brings families together to enjoy the outdoors every May.

New this year, the CCSF will give back to our PTO a $1 for every registered runner that selects Thorson as their school. The second annual Color Rush is on May 30 at 5:30 p.m. and includes "blasts" of non-toxic color powder that add some good clean fun to a run that the entire family can complete.  Food vendors, swag bags, raffles and other colorful activities make it a full event.  The entry fee for the event is just $15 per person and includes a T-shirt for registration by May 8th.  Sign up today at  runsignup.com  and search "CCSF Color Rush" Be sure to select our school for the PTO give back!
