We will go with our 3rd Grade Buddies -- Mr. Kohnen's class. If you would like to chaperone on this trip, please let me know. You will need to complete a background check form if you haven’t already done so this year. Here is the link: Background Check Form. It’s a quick, easy process!

This trip is an annual tradition at Somerset and is a culmination of the Art Adventure program your child participated in earlier in the year. A special thanks to Janelle Hart (Amos' mom) for being our Art Adventure teacher this year!

MINNESOTA SPRING IS HERE!

Rain, snow, heat, cold…It’s hard to know what kind of weather to expect this time of year! Thank you for helping your child select the right gear for being outside at recess every day. If it is wet outside, please send boots with your child as the playground gets very muddy. This helps keep our classroom carpet clean! Thank you!
