A Message from the Principal...
Hi friends,
I hope you had a wonderful three-day weekend. There is not much to report today...just want to extend a huge thank you to our PE team for hosting another successful 6th grade Olympics. we were fortunate that the weather cooperated and Friday was gorgeous. The feedback from parents was so positive. I know this is a tremendous undertaking, but I am sure it is worth every bit of the effort you put into it, when you see the students competing and supporting one another. As a 6th grade team, you are helping students to create memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you. Christie promises to have photos for next week's S'more.
I also want to remind everyone that this Thursday, a consultant will be in the LRC at 8:00 to hear from all of us what we see are our greatest needs in terms of overall facility and classroom improvement. Some ideas might be classrooms with common learning spaces, turf for PE areas, shade structures for outdoor classrooms, water and sinks for all science classrooms. This is a great opportunity to share your thinking. Please attend. Also, this June or July, the District Facilities Master Plan Committee consisting of 40 people will be touring our campus to see firsthand how our physical plant compares to others across the district. We are looking forward to big changes.
Sincerely,
Kelly

Read-A-Thon Results
Thank you for your support of the 3rd Annual Read-a-thon. We raised over $10,400 for the school. It was a lot of fun and we hope the kids enjoyed the book they read during their RAM time. Congratulations to all the students who won the raffles at the prize mall.
We would like to thank the teachers who helped get the word out and supported the efforts to raise money for our great school.
We would also like to thank our sponsors because without them this event couldn’t happen. Please be sure to support them and let them know you're from Twin Peaks, so they can see that their support is appreciated. Our sponsers were: Go Pro, Poway Ice, Domino's of Poway, Golden Spoon of Rancho Bernardo, Get Air, Velocity Paintball, The Wave Waterpark and Kings Craft Coffee who donated gift cards for our fantastic teachers who also made it happen!
We hope you have a great end of the year and if you are available, please attend the last meeting of the school year on Tuesday, May 28, 2019 at 6:30pm. The meetings are held at the Hamburger Factory at Old Poway Park. If you would like more information, please email: tpmsfdn@gmail.com.

Noya Dahan Shining Light Scholarship Fund
Chelsea’s Light Foundation announces the Noya Dahan Shining Light Scholarship fund to help ensure a shining future for the brave eight-year-old who was one of the congregants wounded during the shooting at the Chabad of Poway in California on April 27, 2019. Noya, along with her two sisters and their uncle, were attending services at the Chabad of Poway to celebrate the final day of Passover, when an anti-semitic zealot entered the sanctuary, shot and killed one congregant, and injured three others including Noya. She received injuries from shrapnel that hit her face and leg and was hospitalized for her injuries but has since been released.
CLF is seeking donations to the fund to help ensure Noya fulfills her bright future. “We want Noya to know that she is an important member of our community, that we support her and her courage, and want to make sure her future shines bright,” said Andrew Skale, Board President of CLF and Poway resident. Donations can be made at https://chelseaslight.org/. Everything raised will be placed in a scholarship fund for Noya’s college education.
For almost a decade, Chelsea’s Light Foundation has been providing scholarships to help students, having donated more than $650,000 in scholarship funds to bright and resilient children all across the county.
For more information please contact Heather Skale at 858-883-2987 or hskale@yahoo.com.
