A few summer reminders:
The Gym will be closed starting Monday, June 3rd for the summer as the floor gets re-done. The Arena will stay extra busy because of this, so please make sure to look at the calendar on our website before coming in to use the Arena.
Students are welcome to come in to use the Arena during the summer Monday through Thursday during the day. They need to come in through the front entrance and check in at the office before heading down there so we know who is down there and can have the cameras up for liability purposes. They may want to call the school (605-225-6397) and talk to Mrs. Vetter or Mr. Kroll before coming in to make sure it is open.
Both gyms will be closed at the end of July for waxing, so please watch the calendar as the dates get closer.
Open gym for Junior High Girls Basketball will begin next Tuesday, and go from 4:00 - 5:30 in the Warner Arena. This will be for girls entering 6th - 8th grades. Open gyms will also be held for JH girls on Fridays from 9:00 - 10:30 AM.
This is the last call for Summer Reading Program. The Storytime for children 2yrs of age thru those completing Kindergarten will begin on Tuesday, June 4 at 10:30am in the Warner School Library. The Storytime will be June 4, 11, and 18. There will be a short craft time also. Older adult or student must accompany children to Storytime and craft. We ask that you bring a plastic jar such as a mayo or peanut butter jar cleaned for a craft and 2 toilet paper empty rolls for each child you are bringing. Please do not use the front doors as they will be working in the gym. We are asked to use door #12 which is on the south side of the building. It is located next to the back of the kitchen doors. Library will open at 10am. Children will be able to check out books also. Please contact Mrs. Bender @ marilyn.bender@k12.sd.us if you have any questions.
