School wide theme<\/strong>: Collaboration (Perseverance starts next week)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello All,
I hope you had a fantastic weekend! I was in LA to celebrate my mom’s 85 birthday–it was so good to be with her to celebrate this milestone!

It’s crazy to think that May arrives at the end of this week! You’ll notice that I am now including June dates in the “Upcoming” section below…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few notes to get you going…<\/strong>
1) Thanks for talking with your classes about the wood cookies–it’s making a difference!

2) Taking Care of this Place<\/strong>: It’s always good this time of year to revisit how we work together to take care of this amazing little school that we inhabit. In particular I am noticing a lot of things being left in the hallways at the end of the day, tons of lost and found being left everywhere, garbage on the playground, and the stage being left pretty messy. Please take some time in the coming days to chat with your classes about the importance of taking care of this place. Thanks!

3)Amity Eats tonight<\/strong> at Mountain Burger.

4) Fire Drill on Tuesday <\/strong>at 9am.

5) SIW this week is a Teacher Work day<\/strong>. I have an admin meeting starting at 1:15 so I will ducking out as soon as the dust settles.

6) Please remember to email me when you are done with Erin’s Law lessons<\/strong>.

7) As you know, the auction is this Saturday<\/strong>–hoping to see y’all there! We’ll be doing a little auction promotion at Community Time each day this week. Best if this can happen after birthdays but before whatever your class is doing. It will be short and sweet!

8) A group of students from REALMS High School will be here Friday to lead some activities with our kiddos. Brian is coordinating the effort so be on the look out for communications from him.

9)Bread and Jam on Friday<\/strong>

10) I’ll be out on Friday, Brian will be covering for me.

Lastly, I have been able to set aside enough funds for one sub day for each of you that you can use for Memory Books and\/or Grows and Glows between now and the end of the year. Let me know when you’d like to use your day!
