Class Parents — please check your distribution lists and make sure that any families that have not provided an email address receive a copy of this notice in their backpacks.

Please understand that we can only accommodate modifications of your child’s name if we receive your message by the deadline of Friday, June 12.

Thank you so much!

PreK-2 Multicultural Celebration

Thurs., June 18, 2015

 

We are looking for parent volunteers to present different aspects of their own culture to students in a museum-walk experience that will be held in the gym. This can include pictures, art, music, games, dress, food (peanut-free please), etc. We already have a few volunteers and space is limited! If you are interested in helping us make this a huge celebration, please fill out the form below so that we can get organized! We look forward to partnering with you on June 18th!

Students will be visiting the gym to observe your presentations from Period 2-Period 4 (9:10am-10:40am). If you are presenting for our museum-walk, you are welcome to set up in the gym at 8:20am so that you can be ready for the first wave of students which will immediately follow our student assembly.

We still have space available.

Happenings

Family International Dinner: This event was a HUGE success! We had close to 300 adults and students attend. We want to thank EVERYONE who attended and contributed the delicious food that we all enjoyed. Also, applause to all those students who participated in the Parade of Cultures.

A special thank you to the event chairs Cynthia Mandelbaum, Mary Beth Bentaha and Terri Gordon as well as those who contributed significantly to the event: Maria Kaufer, Christine Memoli, Amal Ajam, Katie Laatikainen, JP Freeley and Tom Renna.

Italian Ice Party: Today was Italian Ice day. We broke routine and had it delivered to classrooms so kids could have gym classes.  We researched and found Marino’s is void of the 8 most common allergens.  We had lemon for all kids so they wouldn’t stain their clothes and from what I hear, it was a fun time in each class. Thanks to Christine Chong-Lin for spearheading and to all the parent volunteers for delivering!
