We will hold our annual Valentine’s Day Dance on Friday February 13th in the afternoon. We ask students to dress up in their best for the event where we will exchange valentines, practice our best etiquette and bust a move or two. Students should plan to bring 20 valentines, which we encourage students to make themselves. A supply of paper, collage materials, glue and scissors makes for a great family project and the results can be sent out to grandparents, too! A class list is provided below if they would like to personalize them. Please check our sign-up for party needs. Remember, no candy or nuts!!!
Moose Tracks: Allie, Avery, Gabi, Greta, Ian, Jack H, Jack S, Joe, Liam, Lily, Max, Oliver, Peyton, Ryder, Sawyer, Tarver, Lori, Leti and Michelle.
Our work in putting on last June’s Children’s Fair comes to fruition as we stop in to places like Kimball Art Center and the Park City Library to make donations of the funds we collected from working so hard in the park that day. We also make a point of volunteering our labor at each place just in case the work of selling tickets and running games is a foggy memory. As we help prepare for this year’s Fair (by designing artwork for advertising, distributing fliers and doing tv and radio promotions) we take pleasure in making the donations knowing that our hands worked for the money and the organization will put it to obvious use in buying art supplies at the Kimball, food for the animals at Furburbia or new books at the library. Sometime in May we’ll sit down together as a class and review the organizations we have supported this year and the help our money has provided. Then, as a class we’ll make up a new budget for next year’s donations. In this way elementary students are involved in every facet of their Children’s Planet Fund all year long, making a concrete exercise of the abstract idea of fundraising for a better world.
Thank you to the many parents who continue to make our field trips possible and more fun by coming along!
