Dear Families,

In February, our students collected change for “Pennies for Patients”.  This project was organized by our Fifth Grade Leaders.  The change was collected for children who have Leukemia, which is the type of cancer that affects children the most.  Thank you for your generous donations!  The grand total will be announced soon.  In addition, our students had the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful theatrical performance by the Tallmadge Middle School.

We had over 80 entries for the annual Munroe Cooking Contest!  This was a great way for our students to showcase their culinary skills!  We were excited to continue this excellent tradition!

Kindergarten Registration is now open.  If your child will turn 5 years old by August 1^st, please register online through our Tallmadge City Schools website.  You will then be contacted by our district registrar to provide copies of necessary documents, including; the child’s birth certificate, shot record, custody papers, proof of residency and your driver’s license.  

The coming months will prove both exciting and busy for all of us.  Here are several upcoming events;

Spring Pictures are scheduled for March 9^th.  We will also welcome visitors from Embracing Futures, to share dental health tips with our 3^rd grade students.  In addition, we are looking forward to our 3^rd Grade Concert on Tuesday, March 10^th at 7:00 p.m. at Tallmadge High School.  On Wednesday, March 11^th, our 1^st Grade students will perform at 7:00 p.m. at Tallmadge High School.

We are excited that COSI on Wheels will visit Munroe again this year! 3^rd grade students will participate in fun and engaging science lessons on March 4^th.  March 11^th for 4^th grade students and March 12 for 5^th grade.  Additionally, our Fifth Graders will be traveling to the Akron Civic Theater on March 17^th for the Link-Up Concert with other school districts from Summit County. 

All K-5 students and their families are invited to attend the Spring Fling on Wednesday, March 18^th (K-2 Students) and Thursday, March 19^th (3-5 Students) at the new Tallmadge Elementary!  This great event is hosted by the Tallmadge Elementary PTA, and will provide fun activities for the entire family!  At this time, families will also be invited to tour our new facility. 

THE TIME HAS FINALLY ARRIVED! Our first day at Tallmadge Elementary will be Monday, March 30^th.  We are all thrilled for our students to experience this amazing facility.  All of our families should have received the letter which outlines important information for the transition to the new building, including updated lunch and recess times and drop off and pick up procedures.  Additionally, updated bus information has been mailed.  If you have any specific questions regarding bussing, you can call the Bus Garage at 330-633-2215.  There will be more information to come!

Kindergarten Orientation is scheduled for Thursday, April 9^th at Tallmadge Elementary at 6:00 pm. At this time, families will have the opportunity to visit classrooms and meet the kindergarten teachers.  In addition, there will be information from our PTA, Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts, and Camp Invention.  Our School Resource Officer will also be there.  

Save the date for Kindergarten Grandparents Day at Tallmadge Elementary School.  We have scheduled Friday, April 17^th for our Kindergarten grandparents to visit our new elementary, enjoy a light breakfast with their grandchild, watch a spring performance and visit classrooms.  We are looking forward to this special day and hope that our grandparents can join us!  More information will be coming soon!

We hope that everyone has a restful, fun and mostly SUNNY spring vacation!
