Plaza de Amigos
Wednesday, May 31, 2017
Grades 1-8
There will be Latin music, shopping opportunities, a build-your-own-burrito lunch buffet, and lots of chances to speak in Spanish! Our Plaza lunch is available at no charge. Let's make this a fun fiesta for all! Please contact
Paola Livingstone or Plaza Coordinator,
Vicky Ryan with any questions.
We still need your help!
Please sign up to donate food.
IMPORTANT: If you've already paid for lunch with JPM Catering for May 31st, you have two options: 1. JPM will still deliver lunch and your child can choose to either take their JPM lunch home and enjoy the burrito buffet or even eat both; therefore no further action is necessary OR 2. You can contact JPM directly and request a refund from May 31st and your child will eat the burrito buffet only.
Joe is aware of our Plaza de Amigos festivities and can be reached via email at
joe@jpmcatering.com
to process a refund.

Field Day
It was a beautiful day with the sun shining, the temperature just right, and grades 3-8 ready to compete in our annual Field Day activities. The red, white, and blue teams raced in several close track and field events. There was the frisbee and softball toss which went the distance, challenging three-legged races, and fun potato sack races. The blue team won overall by a close margin and a lot of school spirit and athleticism showed in this
fun event.

Cradles to Crayons
Mountains of bags were filled with donated clothing, toys, and books and sent off to be donated to Cradles to Crayons for children in need. It was a wonderful community service event with students from grades 1-8 and our wonderful parent volunteers Caryn Rivers, Katy Rucksdechel, Diane Rouine, and Vicky Ryan inspecting, sorting, and packing the donations. A special thank you to Caryn Rivers for putting the event together and making it all happen. This event proved how we practice our culture of kindness and community service.

Visit from the Philadelphia Insectarium and Butterfly Pavilion
Heritage House was crawling with insects with a visit from the Philadelphia Insectarium and Butterfly Pavilion. Students have been reading, studying, and learning about the world of bugs and what makes them special. The students had a chance to touch the butterflies, hissing cockroaches, walking sticks, a tarantula and many others. The students had a good laugh when a butterfly got stuck in Tr. Carolyn's hair!
