Dear Parents,
We are so excited for our 30th Annual Walkathon tomorrow! We will be walking to music and playing on our field throughout the day and ending with popsicles just like always. The only difference is the location and not having everyone together for the walk. If you haven't written your 5 letters per family yet, it's not too late. Just write them tonight and we will give you your shirt tomorrow morning!
We are also excited to report that we have exceeded our goal of $20,000! Thank you to our sponsors and all those who made a donation to our school. Next week, thank you letters will be given to each family so everyone can be thanked!
It is with mixed emotions that I announce that at the end of this year, Mrs. Glick and her family will be moving to Iowa! Mrs. Glick has been teaching for over 30 years in the Diocese of San Diego. Mrs. Glick spent 15 of those years here at SMA teaching Fourth and First grade. We thank and honor Mrs. Glick for giving her time and talent to all those students who passed through her classrooms. We wish Mrs. Glick and her family the best of luck as they embark on a wonderful journey together in the new state they will now call home.
As part of Earth Day celebrations at SMA, students will partake in many exciting activities. Teachers have several projects planned for the day. For example, a building challenge, presentations of sustainability projects, writing sonnets and other poetry, botanical drawings, and "craftivities" about the Earth!
We begin Star Testing next Monday. Please make sure your student gets plenty of sleep and eats a good breakfast. This is the final test for the school year, which will give us important data for this year.
