Order School Supplies for 2015-16
| |
Can you believe it? It's already to time to order 2015-16 school supplies. At Normandale, students are not given a school supply shopping list. Instead, we pay into the school supplies fund and then the PTO orders supplies in bulk. This saves parents time and money, reduces waste and promotes sharing as part of our school culture. The supplies will be delivered to the classrooms the last week in July. In order to meet that timeline and minimize costs, we need payment from parents by June 30th.
Early Bird Savings - save $10 per student if you order by June 30, 2015!

Lost and Found
|
As we approach the end of the school year, please be sure to check the lost and found to claim any missing items (jackets, boots, hats, gloves, etc.). Items not claimed by June 2 will be donated to a local charity.

French Story Time at the Edina Library
|
 We are looking forward to a great summer and another series of "French Story Time" at the Edina Library. French Story Time is a great opportunity for Normandale children. When you come to French Story Time this summer, your child will have the chance to hear a story read in French by some of their favorite teachers, they can reconnect with friends from school, and you can become familiar with the French collections at the Edina Library--where new French titles arrive on a weekly basis! And, its FREE thanks to all of the wonderful teachers from our community who volunteer for this fun event.
We divide the children into two groups according to age: one reader for the younger children (kids going into 1st-2nd grade) and another reader for the older children (kids going into 3rd-5th grade).
Dates: June 15, June 22, June 29, July 6, July 13, and July 20 (all Mondays)
Time: 5:00-5:30pm
Place: Edina Library: 5280 Grandview Square, Edina, 55436 (off of Vernon)
