MOVING REMINDER
You are expected to keep everything in your classroom even if you do not intend to move to to SF. During the week of June 6, the auditorium will be set up to accommodate moving "piles".
The auditorium will be in full use through June 3 for graduations. Our office is very small and Ms. Lisa and Ms. Yolanda will have their own work to do to pack up the office. DO NOT LEAVE ITEMS IN THE AUDITORIUM OR IN THE OFFICE.

Moving Hearts
Thursday, May 12th is Safe Routes to School Day!
Get out your bikes because Safe Routes to School Day is right around the corner! Glenview will have the smoothie bike, coffee, and bagels to enjoy at the beginning of school as students, parents, and teachers bike into work.
Safe Routes to School is a comprehensive, proven approach to getting more kids walking and biking safely to school. It gives kids and parents skills, encouragement, and inspiration through a range of activities, events, and lessons, while also addressing local pedestrian and personal safety concerns.
Please let your students know to bring their bikes on Thursday, May 12th. Fliers will also be handed out to each class to help remind students of this upcoming event! And if you have a bike, please consider riding in yourself -- even if just part of the way. No doubt the students will love seeing their favorite teachers cruising in on a bicycle!
Be Safe, Be Respectful, Be Responsible! Be Giving out those Tickets!
