A Note from the Principal
Dear Thorson Families,
While our Wisconsin weather continues to be a bit unpredictable, we were excited to have a beautiful day on Monday (Earth Day) for our Green Squad clean up day. The students and staff did a wonderful job cleaning up our school grounds. Thank you to the Green Squad for all of their work in arranging this activity. Also, don’t forget that the Green Team is collecting gently worn, used, or new sneakers. Every pair makes a difference to raise money for our Green Squad and to keep sneakers out of landfills.
In PTO news, we will be having our ThorSON Olympics boys event this weekend. The event is this Sunday (4/28) from 1:00-3:30 p.m. at Thorson. We are looking forward to a great event. See below for more details. Also, mark your calendars for our next PTO meeting, which will be held on Monday, May 13 at 7:00 p.m. in the Community Room.
Looking ahead, Friday, May 10 is an Early Release Day, so please mark your calendars. K-5 students will be dismissed at 1:45 p.m. 4K will run their modified early release day schedule.
Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Angela Little, Principal
Scott May, Assistant Principal

Teacher Appreciation
Teacher Appreciation Week is just around the corner, so we wanted to share our exciting plans to honor the incredible Thorson teachers and staff who dedicate themselves to our students everyday. We have some fantastic activities and gestures planned to express our gratitude, and we're thrilled to announce that there are opportunities for students to get involved as well. Whether it's writing heartfelt notes, creating artwork, or organizing small gestures of appreciation, every contribution from the students will make a difference. All the activities below are completely optional and participation is your choice! Additionally, we could use some assistance with gathering items needed throughout the week to make it extra special for our educators.

Thorson PTO Oak Leaf Award Nominations
It is time to nominate a deserving Thorson parent or staff member for the Thorson Oak Leaf Award. The purpose of this award is to recognize a Thorson school community volunteer who has gone “above and beyond the call of duty” to make Thorson a better place for our children, students, and school community.
Perhaps you know someone who has given much of their own time as a Thorson volunteer or someone who has selflessly contributed whenever they were asked. Maybe it is someone who has helped out “behind the scenes” at almost every PTO event, without a chairperson title or recognition, or perhaps there is someone who has done something exceptional for our school this year. You may want to nominate someone who has contributed throughout the years and is now “moving on” to middle school.
There are plenty of people who have helped these past several years, and continue to be involved in supporting our school community this year. We thank ALL OF YOU who have helped make this year and every year a little brighter with your support!
**Special Note re: Staff Nominations: The Thorson Elementary Oak Leaf Award is a "volunteer" award, and is not meant to be a teaching or staff excellence award. This award is meant to recognize someone who has given of their time to PTO and the Thorson school community outside of their typical teaching/staff role.**
Oak Leaf Award Nominations are due by Friday, May 17th!
Oak Leaf Award voting is meant for the Thorson Elementary school community only. Voters must be current members of Thorson PTO in order to vote. Voting will take place May 20th - 31st.
Be sure to check your emails and Thursday Folders when it comes time to vote!
Thorson Green Team
Did you know that your gently worn sneakers could help the Thorson Green Team? Well, they can and here’s how… Starting April 8, our team is participating in a fundraiser where there is nothing to buy or sell; All we need is your support and your gently worn, used, or new sneakers! Start in closets and gather as many pairs of sneakers that you no longer want; maybe you’ve out-grown them, they’re out of style, or out of season. We can only accept athletic shoes. No other shoes please. You can ask your neighbors and friends to help out. Every pair counts! Please bring the sneakers to school and place them in the collection container inside the front doors. The sneakers that we all collect will help raise money to support our program AND will help our environment by keeping sneakers out of landfills.
CCSF Color Rush(free t-shirt if you register by May 8th)
Kicking off the summer while honoring the hard work of local students and teachers, the Color Rush created by Cedarburg Community Scholarship Fund brings families together to enjoy the outdoors every May.
