Trailwood parents are a huge part of what makes Trailwood amazing and you are so appreciated! Thanks for everything you do!

We still do not have a school funding plan from the state legislature. The Senate passed a reasonable education plan to keep in place the current funding formula and provide the necessary inflation funding for our schools. The House barely passed its own education plan, which contains policy provisions opposed by PTA including eliminating a commitment to fund special education and limits on instruction for English Language Learners. A Conference Committee has been appointed to negotiate the final details between House and Senate. The good news is that Trailwood's four legislators have supported the PTA position every step of the way so far. Please thank them! In the News: Save the Date and plan to arrive at school early on your bikes Wednesday, May 8th!!!  The 'Let's Move' committee will again sponsor Bike to School Day. We will also be having our 'Move in May' challenge starting Friday, May 3rd-Thursday, May 7th. Watch your email for more details!!  Drop by Foo's Thursday April 25th, after school until closing. Just mention Trailwood at checkout! A portion of the sales will go to Trailwood.  Attention Trailwood Kindergarten - 3rd Grade Families! We are thrilled to host a special event with local children's book author Alastair Heim on Monday, May 6th at 9:00am in the Trailwood Commons! I have been working with Alastair over the course of this school year getting his delightful books into the hands of elementary school kids in and around Kansas City. Alastair has written four children's picture books and he is kind enough to do a free story time and book signing with our Kindergarten-3rd graders! All four of Alastair's books will be available to pre-order through The Learning Tree (yay for supporting a local author AND a local business!) and he will sign and personalize each book at the event. What a wonderful keepsake for your child and a great gift for all of those upcoming birthday parties! A link to the order form is below, but you will also receive a paper copy that will come home with your child in the upcoming weeks. Please turn in order forms to Shereen in the front office and all orders must be received by April 15th to ensure enough books are ordered from the publisher. I am so excited to bring Alastair to Trailwood! I hope you will consider ordering his books to take home to enjoy with your families! If you have any questions, I can be reached at kristina@the-learning-tree.com Thanks so much, Kristina Keairns
