Summer Reading and Math Resources |
|
It is important that your child read during the summer to maintain reading skills gained during the school year. At the same time, summer is a break from busy schedules and required reading. Children should have the freedom to select what they read, and if they haven't already, discover the pleasure of reading for enjoyment. In order to build fluency, your child should read books at his or her reading level. Also check out the flier for Math resources to help your child build on their math skills over the summer. |

Golden Acorn Winner! |
|
A heartfelt congratulations to Laura Blanch, who won this year's Golden Acorn Award. The Golden Acorn is given to the best volunteer and Laura certainly was that. I have had the pleasure of working closely with Laura all year and beyond putting in countless hours around the school, she never complains and is always willing to take on anything, big or small. Next year we are lucky to have Laura leading the PTA as our president. I'm sure she will be phenomenal. |

Picture Postcards |
|
As part of our curriculum, the librarians do a unit using picture postcards from anywhere in the world outside the US. If you could send me a picture postcard through the mail from one of your destinations using the following guidelines, I'd really appreciate it (and so will the third graders)! 1. Select a card that illustrates something about that country (architecture, geography, customs, people, foods, etc.) 2. Record the date you wrote the message on the card 3. Include in the message....(including, but not all, below): Weather? Customs? Sights to see? Food? Entertainment? Customs? Other helpful information? 4. Sign your name |

School Clinic Volunteers Needed |
|
Volunteers are needed to help in the clinic during the busiest time of the day (recess) and you’re welcome to join any time of the year. This volunteer position is a 90-minute time slot which covers lunch recess for all grades. Sign up for a weekly, semi-monthly or monthly time slot to provide comfort and minor first aid to students K-5. The clinic hours are typically without major incident: mostly doling out reassurance, ice packs for bumps, and bandages for scrapes. Clinic shifts are also extremely gratifying: to transform each child’s distress and tears to peace and comfort. CPR and First Aid training is provided by the School District via the American Red Cross. Contact the Clinic Volunteer Coordinator, Kathleen Ponto, at Kathleen@ponto.com |

Summer Collection of Campbell’s Box Tops |
|
Over the summer we would like all Clyde Hill students to collect as many Box Tops for Education they can. In Sept. each teacher will gather the Box Top for Education labels and we will calculate which Clyde Hill Classroom collected the most labels. That classroom will receive a special treat. Did you also know that Clyde Hill School gets special benefits for collecting the UPC codes from Campbell’s products under the Campbell's Labels for Education program? |
