Monica Ros School

First Grade Overnighter
What????………a class sleepover

When????……..Tuesday night—June 3rd—-7p.m.

Where????…….our classroom

How????……….with sleeping bags, p.j.’s and toothbrush

Who????……….our class

Why????……….to spend our last night together as a class. We’ll say “Good-by and “Good-night”.

     If your child isn’t comfortable with an over-night experience,perhaps, your child could come in p.j.s at 7 p.m.,enjoy a movie and popcorn and be picked up at 9p.m. If you decide as parents that you would rather not have your child participate in the evening at all………that is fine! Your decision will be respected.

     For those children who will stay overnight-a change of clothes will be needed for the morning. Your child should arrive at school at 7p.m. in pajamas with a sleeping bag,pillow and toothbrush and comb. No slippers,flashlights or exotic camping gear. Breakfast(Mrs. Carbajal’s famous pancakes) and a morning snack will be provided.

     I have always ended each school year with a “sleep-over”. The children love this special way to say “Good-by”.

Dear Parents,

As the month draws to a close, I have so many of you to thank for your generous gifts of time and talent. Gratitude is sent to all parents who drove on the field trip to the Wachtell orchard. The following day the class and teachers enjoyed a delicious apple pie treat because Tami and Leila W. spent all evening in the kitchen preparing fresh pies.(This gift was from a lady who has three small children, teaches full time in the Green Room and is a Fiesta Chairman!) We say, ”Thank-you”, most sincerely. Behind the scenes the unsung parent heroes of the first grade are donating hours and hours of time to make our school a better place for all school students. Connie_Cline and Linda_LeBrock are hatching great plans for Fiesta. Joy_Golbere is lending her expertise as a past chairman. Dana_White and Jerry_Ellinghausen can be seen throughout the week digging, replanting and watering our green areas to improve green spaces for the children. Their commitment has made our campus —-so much nicer. Bill_Moses and Bill_Gilbreth have donated weekends of work to build
Sherwood Forest which generations of students will enjoy. Throughout that scorching heat, all weekend long, Bill_Gilbreth hammered and sawed …..and smiled. To all of you, please know that you are creating a happier world for the Monica Ros community. Next week in honor of Native American Day, Mr. Ben_Farrell, a member of the Cherokee Nation, will visit class to share his heritage with the children. Remember that beginning in October the class will dismiss at 2:45 p.m. (except on Wednesdays). A newsletter with October news and notes will come home once the month begins. It is a busy one! Thank you again for cooperation and generosity in all areas of school life.

With admiration, Mrs. K.

The first grade will be presenting their play about American Heros at 11am in Meyer Hall followed by a luncheon.
