☀️ Field Day is almost here, and we need 20+ parent/guardian volunteers to make it happen for our kids! ☀️

On May 21, 2026, Seward Elementary will celebrate its annual Field Day on the last day of school and we’d love some extra helping hands to make this high-energy, memory-making day run smoothly.

We are looking for 8-10 volunteers per shift, plus help with lunch setup and serving:

🏃 AM shift: 8:30-11:45 (with K-2nd)
🎈 PM shift: 11:00-2:30 (with 3rd-5th)
🌭 Lunch setup/serving shift: beginning at 10:30 while classes compete in Tug-o-War

It takes 20+ volunteers to pull off a day like this, and we would be so grateful for your help in sending our kids into summer with a day full of fun, energy, and great memories.

If you’d like to volunteer, please email ebena@kpbsd.org with your contact information and which shift or shifts you’d be available for.

Let’s come together and make this day a great one for our kids! 💙💛

This is our Spring Spirit Week put on by the SLT, Student Leadership Team. We are excited to see your school spirit!!!!

Hello! We just wanted to remind you that tomorrow, Friday, April 10th, is an early release day with students being dismissed 90 minutes earlier than normal. Kindergarteners will be coming out the doors around 12:50 and all other students at 1:00. Busses will drop your students off 1-1/2 hours earlier as well. 

We all hope this beautiful sunshine lasts and wish everyone a safe, enjoyable weekend! 

Dear Seward El Families,

It’s Scholastic Book Fair time!!! The fair will be open April 6-9, and each class will have a chance to shop during their library time. The fair will also be open to the public Monday-Wednesday, 2:30-3:30 p.m.

All proceeds from the fair benefit our school library program!

If you would like your student to be able to make purchases at the book fair, please see below for payment options:

* Cash (preferably in an envelope with your child’s name on it)

* Check (made out to Seward Elementary)

* Credit card— Send in a note and include your phone number. I will call you for your credit card information by Wednesday afternoon and your child’s purchase will be set aside until we have processed the payment.

* eWallet – this is a great new credit card payment method. Parents who tried out this option last year said it was super easy and convenient! Please visit this website to set up eWallet. www.scholastic.com/bf/sewardelementaryschool

If you would like your child to purchase something specific, please let us know! If there is no note, we will assume your child can spend the money however they wish.

Thank you for supporting our Seward Elementary Book Fair!

-Mrs. Bamford, Library Aide (907) 224-7573 jbamford@kpbsd.org
