Fieldtrips
Auditions were held on May 6th and 7th for our
annual “Radley’s Got Talent!” show to be held on
May 29th. Students will gather in the gym by
grade to see their classmates perform their
incredible talents. 4th graders will perform first at
8:30, followed by the 5th graders at 10:00. After
lunch the 2nd graders will gather at 12:30 and 3rd
graders at 2:00.
Four acts from each grade level will then be
chosen to perform at the all-school revue on June
5th.
Parents are always invited to join us in the gym
and encourage and support these talented
students!

Bikes for Books Winners
Principal’s Perspective
The seat belt sign is definitely on at Radley. We are going to
need all seats in the upright position and all electronic
devices powered off right now. I think (?) the wheels are
down and the runway is clear.

Staff, students, families and communities are forever on the
go during the month of May as the school year draws to a
close. At Radley, we not only are closing down the current
year but preparing for 2013/14. As the plane taxis to the
unloading zone, we find some very anxious students as well
as staff. Stay seated everybody!
Congratulations to Ian Burns who was the 4th
grade art winner.
Last weekend I paused below a flowering tree at my
daughter’s house to watch and listen to thousands of honey
bees actively working the newly opened blooms. I couldn’t
help but think that it’s not just humans who are working
feverishly this month. I’m relatively certain that these tiny
workers don’t’ take many recess breaks nor checkout and
head home when school ends for the day. Luckily, they paid
me no mind.
Essay winners were Carly Ryan for 3rd grade,
Raina Shaw for 4th grade, and Savannah Withrow
for 5th grade.
Bikes for Books winner were:
Later my wife commented that my stopping to look and listen
to the buzz was an oddity in itself. I had a list of ‘to do’s’ to
take care of that day at Meg and Tom’s prior to heading out
to the lake. Actually, I probably wouldn’t have noticed if one
of the lawn sprinkler heads I needed to fix wasn’t located
directly under the tree. I get a bit focused sometimes.
2nd grade: Rylie Martin and Hagen Kalista
3rd grade: Erin Schmidt and Jeremiah Gilleland
4th grade: Kim Neumann and Chase Kriendeman
5th grade: Haylee Broadhurst and Kaden McBreen
Radley Mission Statement
Here’s hoping you find a moment to pause and appreciate
what’s happening around you this month. Thanks for sending
your kids on board with us this year. We’ve had a fabulous
flight and look forward to the 2013/14 adventure!
