New School-wide Theme: Perseverance! Good timing, yes?
Hey Team!
I hope you had a fantastic weekend! We are definitely in the final stretch of the year and everyone is feeling it! Michelle and I got away this weekend and ended up on the one of the Wikiup fingerlings. Below is a shot from Sunday morning sunrise–that’s the back of Bachelor in the distance.
A few notes to get you going:
1) Feliz Cinco de Mayo! For the REAL meaning of Cinco de Mayo, have a look: Cinco de May
2) It’s AUCTION WEEK, and auction time on Saturday! Lots of people have been working hard to make it happen once again. As always, you are not required to be there but I sure do love seeing you there and having few laughs. This year’s theme is Under the Palms-think Hawaiian/Florida cringe/tropical leisure.
3) Cafe Amity on Wednesday, Grade 5 is hosting.
4) School Nurses Appreciation Day is May 7. Thank you to Cynthia for all she does for Amity!!
5) Ian will be here singing with K/1/2 (and Grade 4 during Enrichment) for the next few weeks. As a reminder, here is the schedule on Thursdays:
*8:45-9:15 Kinder
*9:40-10:10 Grade 1
*10:15-10:45 Grade 2
6) Lori will be joining us for about 30 minutes this week at SIW to introduce us to EL language dives.
7) We’re doing our annual Volunteer Appreciation Tea on May 22 after Community Time. Patti will be sending you a link to the volunteer document–please take a moment to add any and all volunteers to the list so we don’t miss anyone. Thanks in advance!
Here’s to a great week!
