The Rec Night will be held in the US gym and Commons from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The cost to attend is $5 to cover the cost of snacks and activities. MSSG will be using the money earned at this Rec Night to put together care packages for military service members overseas.

Students will stay up all night playing games, watching movies, and enjoying the evening with their classmates. There will also be a late night cookout and s&#8217;mores. The &#8220;Lock In&#8221; ends at 8:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 25. Thank you to all of our faculty chaperones who are helping supervise this special night for the 8th graders!</p>

<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Teacher Appreciation Week</span></strong><br />
A special thank you to the KPA for organizing the events for the faculty and staff during Teacher Appreciation Week. We feel appreciated and honored!</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Lower School ERBs</span></strong><br />
Students in Grades 3, 4, and 5 will be taking achievement tests the week of May 13.  Please be sure your child is in attendance every day, well rested, and prepared to demonstrate his/her best learning during examination sessions.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Technology Project</span></strong><br />
Thank you for your understanding with the early dismissal on Wednesday. Construction work was being done behind the Rhea Building as part of our technology upgrade project. All was going well until a Comcast contractor discovered an unmarked electrical line. All ended well as we had full electrical power by 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday. We are very appreciative our Facilities Committee who worked late into Wednesday evening making sure all systems were operating for students and staff on Thursday.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Lower School Noah&#8217;s Ark Giving Project</span></strong><br />
The Lower School students and families did an amazing job raising money for Noah&#8217;s Ark Animal Sanctuary.<br />
A total of $1,027.92 was raised along with donations of cleaning items, food, and beds for our pet friends.<br />
The students learned about some of the Noah&#8217;s Ark programs directly from the Ark staff at a Friday Morning Meeting.  The Student Council did a great job organizing this project, and consider our results a success!</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Energy Net Light Fundraiser Orders Due</span></strong><br />
Orders for the Energy Net fundraiser are due on May 13 to an Energy Net member.</p>

<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Kite Day At Rockford College</span></strong><br />
Due to inclement weather, we will not have Kite Day at Rockford College on May 3.  Due to a very busy May schedule Kite Day activities will take place with individual classrooms, not the entire school.  Look for information from your child&#8217;s teacher about classroom Kate Day activities. We do want to continue this 96 year Keith School tradition.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">RSVP for Grandparents&#8217; Day</span></strong><br />
Be sure we have your RSVPs for Grandparents&#8217; Day. We want to be sure we are planning for all our grandparents! Questions, please see Mrs. Schofield.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Concert on May 7</span></strong><br />
Please join us for an uplifting concert with the MS/US Choirs and Jazz Band.</p>
<p>Students participating should wear black and white concert attire. Dodecaphonics need to be ready for warm-ups at 6:00 p.m., MS and US choir students should meet in the art room at 6:15 p.m., and band students should arrive by 6:30 p.m.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Shayaan Naseer Selected for Prestigious Internship</span></strong><br />
Shayaan Naseer has been selected for a highly competitive summer internship program sponsored by the University of Illinois College of Medicine and Thermo Fisher Scientific. Selected students for the eight-week program will have the opportunity to work directly with senior scientists to learn hands-on laboratory and technical skills. Congratulations to Shayaan and his parents!</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Summer Camps At Keith</span></strong><br />
There will be many enrichment camps on the Keith campus this summer.  Brochures about summer camp experiences are available from Mrs. Doherty and Mrs. Schofield.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Re-enrollment Contracts</span></strong><br />
We are starting to enroll new students.  If you have not turned in your enrollment contract, please let us know your intent to return to Keith.</p>
