SAVE THE DATE for the Grade 3-5 Teachers — March 8.

On Saturday, February 4^th, from 10:00 to 2:00 pm, children and families can learn everything about the California Western Monarch Butterfly and its habitat with an up-close look at the magnificent creatures while they flutter through the Butterfly Garden and inside a netted butterfly enclosure in the park’s Camp Sycamore. Children can help the Butterfly Garden continue to grow by planting native plants in the garden to attract Monarch Butterflies. More than 140 plants will be available for planting on February 4th. Butterfly experts will also be on-site to provide educational information and answer questions about the beautiful and unique specimens. Additional event activities include children’s crafts, face painting, guided nature walks through Mile Square Regional Park’s nature area. Each child in attendance will receive native seeds as a take away to continue to help build safe habitats for Monarch Butterflies and other creatures.

Let’s get moving and raise a some money for our school, too!!! Please join us at our fund-raising roller skating party on Thursday, January 12. Please click here for the details: Roller Skating January 12

Agenda items for the upcoming meeting include the Working Parents Forum and funding approval for the Apple iPads for our teachers.

Working Parents Forum:  The challenges and options for Courreges families vary, but one thing we all agree on, is that we want the best for our kids, and the more we come together and understand each other as parents, the better.  Please attend a working parents forum led by Staci Fujita at our next Association Meeting.

Thank you to all who have helped so far.  We have only one more week to label all the books in the Courreges library before the equipment must be returned.  If you have any time available, please sign up here: Accelerated Reader Labeling Help

PLEASE remember, we must get the library books labeled before we can make the equipment available for classroom labeling.
