Mrs. Summy's Weekly Message
Dear Commonwealth Families,
Happy Sunday!
Thank you to Fullerton Evangelical Community Church for again helping us do some sprucing up of our Commonwealth Campus! We are so grateful for their assistance and our PK Sensory Garden is looking better each week! We appreciate these community partners!
FAMILY GAME NIGHT is coming April 24! And so is the Bracken's Kitchen Food Truck. Look for the flyer coming home WEDNESDAY in your child's Weekly Folder. Our RtI Teachers have lots of fun games you can play as a family and we will have FREE DINNER thanks to our Community Schools Program, with Bracken's Kitchen Food Truck preparing a delicious and healthy meal. Please RSVP to the event using the flyer that came home last Wednesday.
This week is the LAST week of our Junior Chef Academy, and we thank all our teachers for taking on this project based learning project to help kids gain some valuable experiences that will help them throughout their lives! Big thanks to Mrs. Zaucha for organizing the academy and all our teachers for participating....BIG THANKS to SPROUTS who donated all the food used.
VISION to LEARN completed ALL the vision screenings, over 120 kids! We are grateful for their help in making sure we get our Tigers what they need to succeed! Big thanks to the FSD Community Schools Team for their support in bringing Vision to Learn to Commonwealth.
PARKING LOT REMINDERS: Please follow safe driving practices in the parking lot. There are two choices for parent pickup: 1. Wait in the pick up line and pick up students at stop sign, or 2. Park your car in a marked stall and walk up to flagpole area, then return to your car. I know for many of you, this means parking on the street, but Commonwealth was built in 1955, a time when we all walked to school (I say we, but that is actually before my time!). We have had to dedicate staff to help in the parking lot to ensure that dismissal is safe, but these staff members really should be working with students. The circle drive only has three marked stalls, these are still red curbs, and we use those three spots for either students in some classes who require physical assistance walking to cars or for parents with parking permits for accessibility. Please follow the direction of staff in the parking lot and keep the bus area clear each day.
We only have about 30 days left in the school year...let's finish safe strong!
Have a wonderful evening and see you at school Monday!
All the best!
Mrs. Summy
