5th GRADE STUDENTS AND PARENTS

June 2, 2008

Attention 5th Grade Parents,

Your child’s Courreges years are quickly coming to an end and there are lots of fun and exciting activities planned.

One of the most anticipated events of the year is the Boomer’s trip scheduled for Friday June 13th. Your child must have a signed permission slip to be able to attend. Please be sure to return your signed permission slip as soon as possible. You can print a permission slip at this link: Boomer's Permission Slip
Don’t forget the upcoming “Lunch on the Lawn”. On June 9, please join your 5th grader for a picnic lunch. Click here for the details: 5th Grade Lunch on the Lawn

Let’s make sure these last few weeks are especially memorable for our 5th graders.

To: 5^th Grade Teachers, Parents of 5^th Grade Students and 5^th Graders

I would like to thank you for loaning me your photos and discs for the 5^th Grade Yearbook. I will be returning all items very soon to the Yearbook Parents so they can further distribute them to you.

Your photo contributions were a great many, as I viewed each and every photo on the discs that were given to our Yearbook Parents (then to me) during our various collection phases throughout this year. To be exact, that would be 110 discs (lots and lots and lots of photos!!!)

Creating the pages for the yearbook was a momentous task…I had fun doing so, yet the work was overwhelming at times; over 600 hours of sitting at my computer (of which at least half was done in the last 4 weeks).

When you get the yearbook in June, I truly hope you all enjoy each and every page; my dedication and heart was put into each page.

Thank you, again, for loaning your photos so your child and others could be represented in the yearbook.

Sincerely,

Loretta Mak

Final Call for Yearbook Pictures

With Outdoor Education and Jog-A-Thon done, we are in the final stage of collecting photos for the yearbook. If you have pictures to share, they are due no later than Thursday, March 20th! (Loretta Mak will be spending Spring Break finalizing the yearbook, so this is deadline is definite!)

Please put your pictures on disc and clearly mark the disc (not just the cover) with your name, teacher's names and room number. Turn in your disc to your teacher no later than the March 20th deadline, and Loretta Mak and Melinda Lynch will pick them up from your teacher.

If you have any questions, please let Melinda Lynch know at (714) 962-9123.

Outdoor Education Alerts:

Sunglasses and Sunscreen - With snow on the ground, a lot of sun will be reflected. Please have your children bring sunglasses and sunscreen.

Labeling your children's luggage - EVERYTHING needs a label. We suggest that the sleeping bags and pillows be placed in a large trash bag (together) labeled in LARGE print (using masking tape) the student’s name and school name. Also, the luggage (duffel bag/suit case) needs the same kind of label with masking tape. The bigger label, the better! We also suggest that the student label their mittens, sweatshirts, hats, etc. You would be shocked at how many clothes are left behind up there.

Prepare for Snow - Please note that the camp would like all 5th graders to pack snow gear because there is currently 1-3 feet of snow and more is expected next week. Thanks everyone . . . and thanks to all who volunteered to load and unload. We could still use some help with unloading on the 7th, so if you can help, let us know.
Maribeth and Kari

Yearbook Dedication to Your Child

Deadline - Wednesday, January 16, 2008

(Please turn this into your classroom teacher.)

Dear 5^th Grade Parents,

For this year’s 5^th Grade Yearbook, we would like to give all the 5^th Grade Parents an opportunity to dedicate a tile square to your child in the yearbook. In the large square below left, write a special note, draw a special picture, include a photo of your child, or incorporate your own combination of creativity for this dedication. Remember to include your child’s name as part of your dedication.

Please make sure it is neat and legible, and use colors that are dark and bright rather than light and dull (yellow and pale colors are not good choices). This square will be scanned and shrunken to a 1.5” x 1.5” square (the smaller square below right), so do not write too small or too long of a message (short and sweet is better).

Remember to stay within the black line borders of the square. Download form to get the black squares: 5th Grade Yearbook Tile Dedication Page

Thank you. Please contact your Yearbook Parent with any questions:

Room 27 (Ruig) – Loretta Mak (964-5220) OR Melinda Lynch (962-9123)

Room 26 (Prieto) – Annette Gilbert (964-9866)

Room 25 (Harrison) – Jackie Pennella (968-4890)

We need help from all the 5^th Grade parents in gathering photographs from the following activities (please note the Deadline Dates are next to the events):

We are looking forward to using as many of your child’s photos as possible, but it may be difficult to use all pictures that are sent in (with the exception of the kindergarten/first grade pictures).
