End of the year events

Friday June 10: Six Flags Grad Night. We have drivers covered! We will leave school at 10:00am and plan to leave Six Flags at 10:30 pm. We should arrive back at school around 1:15am. Please pack a lunch, snacks and bring money for dinner. We will eat lunch when we arrive. A meal costs around $10-12. We can go out to the car to eat snacks, but cannot bring food in.

Monday June 13 is Field Day for the whole school: 10:00-2:00 at Allied Gardens Community Park about two miles away on Zion Ave. We are looking for a few parents to shuttle kids up there and back.

Thursday June 16: Eighth Grade Promotion 6:00- 8:00. Location TBA this weekend. Promotion begins with a message from Christine and Teachers, followed by student speeches and promotion certificates. After the ceremony, we will have dinner. During class council today, some, but not all students signed up for food assignments. With 22 students, we are looking at around 80-100 guests. I did tell students if they have more people than just immediate family, we are asking that they also bring a dish.

Food Assignments include:

1. Appetizers: chips dips
2. Main Dish to serve 10-12 each (8 volunteers)
3. Side Dish to serve 10-12 each (8 volunteers)
4. Drinks sparkling pink lemonade (8 2liter bottles sprite, countrytime or crystal light pink lemonade mix)
5. Dessert: cookies, sweets

I am bringing a Costco graduation cake, lemonade decanter,dinner plates and utensils(donated from Poway little league)
Barb Carlson has volunteered to pick up decorations.

Friday June 17: Last Day of School! Beach Party at Belmont Park Leave school at 10:00, return to school at 3:30. Students can be dropped off at 10:45 at Belmont Park but I need to know in advance to mark students present for school. Bring lunch or money for lunch, bathing suits, sunscreen, etc. Main setup will be on the beach in front of the rollercoaster.

The year flew by! Can't believe its almost over!
