Dear Park Spanish Immersion Elementary School Community:
I hope that you have had a great week. It was so much fun to see the PTO-sponsored Drama Club performers' brilliance shine last week! Thanks to all involved, and it was fun to see our students perform at the new Middle School Performing Arts Center. Thanks to our taxpayers for the support of the last referendum!
Next week, we will celebrate PSI Spirit Week starting on Wednesday. This starts the PTO-sponsored Silent Auction. The money raised from the Silent Auction directly supports our Amity intern program. We are planning to host eight interns again next school year. Please see below about some fun opportunities for our community.
Please also see below for some resources that Sra. Moore, School Counselor, and Sra. Gregor, School Social Worker, have compiled about talking with your students about things happening in our community and in our larger global community.
Thank you for sharing your children with us, have a great week, and keep reading!
Corey

Please ask your family and friends to save their empty toilet paper and paper towel cardboard tubes. Kindly, collect them and have your student bring them them to the school office. We need many cardboard tubes for upcoming math project! |

Call the school office at 952-928-6555 if you'd like to view the many items of Lost & Found.
You'll be directed to enter and exit the building at door #2 (staff will let you in) to view Lost & Found items. Lost & Found 'valuables' (i.e. glasses, jewelry, keys) are in the front office.
Thank you!

Family-Size Cereal Boxes Wanted! |
We are gearing up for our Cartonera Writing Project (in May/June). In preparation for this fun event where every student publishes a book, we are requesting family size cereal boxes. If you purchase cereal in the Family Size box, we would love to have you send them to school when they are empty.
We will also need people to help sew the books. It really only requires a sewing machine and the capacity to sew a straight(ish) line. If you are willing and able to assist in this way, please let Kara Scheid know (scheid.kara@slpschools.org)

Book Donation Project from 5th Grade Student Representatives
We are doing a book donation to raise books for preschoolers through Children First, and we are collecting books the whole month of March. The book boxes are located by the front office, by the buses and kiss and ride. So if you have books you don't read anymore please bring them to donate to pre-k kids to help them learn to read or start to learn. We are especially looking for Spanish books! Please don't give us books that you read or want to keep.
Thank you so much!
Sincerely,
The 5th grade student representatives
