News From the Office…
We are slowly getting closer to the last few things going on at school. We are officially done with M STEP testing and we are glad to have that behind us! We have 9 SCHOOL Days left. Remember there is no school on Monday, Memorial Day and it is an early release on our last day of school. The last day is Friday, June 9 and the kids will be dismissed at 12:15. We hope you have a wonderful long weekend and can enjoy some time with family and friends!
Medication Pick Up…
Just an end of the year reminder about medication. If your child has meds at school, they must be picked up by the last day of school. Anything left after the last day will be disposed of.
Construction Warning…
We received a call from Triangle construction today (they are working on Jenison’s new Building down by Fair Haven Church). Baldwin will be closed between 28th AVE and the Rolling hills development from May 30 – June 6th for those of you that may drive that way, plan another route!

•Attention, Bridge Card holders: Double Up Food Bucks will be back at your area’s farmers’ markets starting in June. When you use your Bridge Card at a 
participating farmers’ market, the Double Up Food Bucks program will match you dollar for dollar with bonus funds – up to $20 – that you can use in the market to buy more fresh, Michigan-grown fruits and vegetables. It’s that simple – spend up to $20 on your Bridge Card at the market, and you’ll get up to $20 more, free, to spend on healthy, local foods. Most farmers’ markets and some on-farm produce stands in Kent, Ottawa, and Muskegon Counties are participating.
