Aloha volunteer opportunities

Hey Parents,

Or should I say Aloha? Have you weeded your grass skirt? Shook the dust off your coconuts? Gathered your lucky pig tails (or is it a rabbit foot thats lucky?) Either way, I sure hope you plan to attend Saturday's school fundraiser. Its sure to be a good time.

As you know, March 21 is picture day (parents, thats your cue to mark calendars). Dori, our beloved MPTO president, is looking for one parent from each classroom to assist teachers in moving kids through the photo lines. The Hardee/Hill classroom is taking photos from 8:45 -10am. Who's available? The photo schedule is attached.

Also, on March 5th, from 9-11am, a parent is needed to serve as the room assistant/delivery driver for our monthly Zion Shelter Lunch Drive.

Please let me know if you are available for either of these volunteer opportunities! 

Thanks,

Bianca

Happy  Valentines,

    

·          Thank you:

            Parents for helping our day get started smoothly and quietly each morning.  By      

            this time of the school year, your child should be able to separate at the door,

            come in get slippers on and come to circle with little assistance.  This is going

            very well!!

         

            Thanks for sending in soup kitchen ingredients this month!  Also a big thanks to

            Teresa Silverthorn for volunteering to help prepare and deliver the “Cabbage

            Pot” lunch to Zion Shelter and Soup Kitchen today. 

 

·          Reminders:

      If your child is doing sight word activities, keep in mind that this assignment is   

      good preparation for 1^st grade.  Parents, it is a great time to observe in the 6-9

      classroom.  You just need to sign in at office.  You do not need an appointment.

    

·          Kidsfest Project  assignment:

      Your child will be studying the world and the seven continents as part of the 3-6    

      classroom curriculum. Your child will have an individual Kidsfest assignment. 

      We will be sending home a February/March calendar with your child’s name    

       plugged in on a Monday, Wednesday or a Friday  of an assigned week.  Your

      child’s calendar will have an assignment written on it.  This is your child’s first

      research project.  We are hoping that this assignment will allow you and your   

      child to spend some quality time trying to learn something about one of the

      continents of the world.

·          3-6 Kidsfest group performance:

The performances will take place on the evening of Kidsfest, Friday April 20, 2012. The 3-6 students will be practicing international songs with Mrs, Rhem in preparation for Kidsfest from now until Kidsfest.

·          Valentines:

Please use the roster to address all valentines. We would like to give students time to work on these with Parents, but send them in as soon as you finish. Your child will get to deliver their valentines the same day they bring them in. If need a copy of the roster, contact bianca.shoneman@gmail.com

·          February fieldtrip:

Our class participates in the soup kitchen community service each month, so Hardee/Hill class will not be going to the assisted living centers as Gaddy and Moore classes will go on Feb. 14.

Our next fieldtrip will be on Friday, February 24.  We will be leaving our classroom at  9:00 am. and returning around 12:30 pm.  We will be traveling to the Tarheel Variety Theatre for the production of  “Alice In Wonderland”. Thank you drivers.

    

·          Auction:

Please plan on coming to our biggest school fundraiser for the year. Our annual auction “Luau” is planned for Saturday, February 18, 2012, beginning at 5:00 for those who want to preview all the items up for auction.  We have recently shown our 3-6 students what their $3.00 donations went toward. With your donations we were happy to create a “discovery basket”,any 3-6 or 6-9 student would love to have.  The 3-6 teachers would like to encourage all of our 3-6 parents to come out for a night of fun!  Thank you parents for sending donated items in as well.

Thanks for your continued support,  

Mrs. Hardee and Mrs. Hill
