Dear Parents,
Our Walkathon was a spectacular success! Every aspect went well: the walk, the fundraising, the music & spirit! Even Fr. Elmer joined the kindergarten for warm-ups! The weather cooperated, and everyone enjoyed themselves and had a fantastic day!
It was a very big endeavor! So far we have received $20,723.00 which exceeds our goal of $20,000 in donations! Please note that expenses have not been deducted from this figure and the financial report will be in our newsletter soon, which will also include our generous sponsors. We extend “congratulations” for an outstanding job to Tracy Giordano, chairperson of the event, as well as our "DJ" for the day. This is Tracy’s seventh year as chair. We also thank our corporate sponsors: McMahon Steel Company, Inc., America's Finest Remodeling, Chlorine Genie, Coldwell Banker West - Tracy Giordano, California Waterjet, Keller Williams Realty - Gregg Phillipson, La Casa Del Zorro, Law Office of Genevieve A. Suzuki, Underpar - Green Fees for Less. We also want to thank the DeBow family who sponsored the popsicles. They were a great hit!
We have prepared a “thank you” letter to be sent to every person who was kind enough to make a donation. Students will be completing the thank you letters in class on May 7th. Distance Learning students may also pick up the letters. As an appreciation, there will be a Walkathon "Thank You" free dress day on Thursday, 5/27.
As a reminder, we cannot have any child sick at school. We have been in contact with the school resource team from the county and the guidance hasn't changed. Please see below.
The Eighth graders will begin their SLE presentations next week. This is an end of year project that allows each student to explain to an audience how they have grown in their Schoolwide Learning Expectations (SLEs) throughout their time here at the Academy. It is a very important presentation that we look forward to seeing. Please keep the eighth grade in your prayers next week.
