Teacher Appreciation Week
Tomorrow is Bus Driver Appreciation Day!
Thank You to Our Generous FFO & VV Parents
We would like to say THANK YOU to both our FFO and VV parents. Without the FFO's fundraising efforts and the generosity of our parents we would not be able to go on our fun and exciting field trips! Here are just a few that are coming up over the next couple of weeks: 2nd Graders are off to the Zoo on Friday. 3rd graders get to explore Colossal Cave next week. And the overnight camp for our 5th graders is just around the corner.

Did you know Teacher Appreciation Week is May 6 - 10th?
Our AMAZING FFO has many things planned to honor our entire staff.
We'd like to celebrate the people that contribute to your children's growth and development when they are on campus. Please take a few moments to honor those who have made a difference for your family by completing this quick form. We will present these stories and acknowledgements to each person in a special way during Teacher Appreciation Week! Thanks for helping us spread love and kindness to our staff!

Spring Arts Festival
Join us this Friday, April 26th from 5-7:30pm, alongside the Spring Book Fair. We'll feature student artwork, enjoy musical performances, and there's even a silent auction with some really fantastic prizes including Disneyland vouchers, Rounds of Golf, Mrs. Mulay for the Day, a Loews Resort Staycation and more! As in previous years, student artwork may be framed for a fee, or parents may take artwork home as is. Food trucks will include Yummy Dogz y Mas, Churros el Rey, and Buddha Belly Pizza Kitchen.
Volunteers are needed: https://m.signupgenius.com/#!/showSignUp/8050c4baaaf2ca4fb6-spring

Marker Recycling
Join us as we collect dried out markers and have them converted into clean energy. Together, we are helping our planet - one handful of markers at a time! This is through the Crayola ColorCycle program, and any brand is welcome. Look for the collection bin in the front office, in time to celebrate Earth Day!
