December Principal's Update
Morello Park is generously participating in the season of giving. PTA is sponsoring the 22nd annual Share the Spirit program through Shelter inc. by adopting families that are financially struggling or dealing with difficult circumstances. Thank you to everyone who has donated to this program. Second grade candy cane sales started this week to benefit Christmas for Everyone, a local organization. Students may purchase candy cane grams for 50 cents during their lunch recess. They fill out the grams with their friend's names and 2nd graders tape a candy cane to them and deliver them. In addition to the money raised, 1st and 2nd graders collect new, unwrapped toys to donate. If you would like to donate a toy, please bring it to the main office by Wednesday, 12/18/19. Any questions regarding Christmas for Everyone, please contact Mrs. Spinner at cspinner@martinez.k12.ca.us
Friday, December 20th, is a minimum day schedule. All Kindergarten classes will attend from 8:00-11:20 and grades 1st-5th 8:15-12:00. The 2nd grade music performance will be held on Friday, December 20th, starting at 11:30am in the Multi Use Room. The black top will be open for additional parking. Please continue to be mindful of parking lot etiquette. Please do not park in fire lanes or staff parking spots and remain in the appropriate drop off or drive through lane. Always use crosswalks when coming and going from campus. Thank you for helping to keep our students and families safe during drop off and pick up.
Attached at the bottom of this newsletter is the December 2019 PTA Newsletter. Please review their newsletter for all of the wonderful upcoming events and opportunities offered by our amazing PTA.
If I don't have the opportunity to see you at school before the holidays, have a relaxing and safe winter break. Happy New Year!
Sincerely,
Ami Nichols
