Hi all,

Nice to return from Spring Break with beautiful weather, at least for a couple of days. Hope everyone is settling in for our 10 week push to the end of the year.

Some exciting news: this Thurs, April 12 we are hosting the Banana Slug String Band. They will perform from 1-2 pm in M-1. Kinder parents feel free to stay with your child before heading home.

If on campus this week, please check the lost and found – it has grown significantly the last few weeks.

Tonight is our final Informational Meeting at 6 pm in M-1. Applications for the lottery are due tomorrow, Wed, by 3:30 pm.

STAR testing is coming up in early May. Teachers are beginning to send practice sheets home; please make sure your children work on these so they are better prepared for the tests.

Our next PTC meeting is Wed. 4/11 @ 5:30pm @ SELS.  Please join us as we prepare for our end of the school year activities!  If you can not attend but would like to participate, please let Marcy know, mlttruckee@yahoo.com or 386-1191.

– Teacher Appreciation Week:  May 7 – May 12.  We would again like to do a breakfast day, lunch day and put together “goodie bags” for the staff.  We need a lot of parental participation to make this work.  Our teachers spend quality time each and every day with your child, please help by putting in an hour or so or donating to our events, to recognize the hard work the staff does for us!
– looking ahead to 2012/2013 school year….what can we improve on, new fundraising ideas, new board members, etc.
