Lots of stuff... May is going to be a busy month!
Health Test on Friday May 9th
Reminder from Ms. Chun's email: "Our class will be taking their Health test with Mrs. Melzer this Friday, the 9th. They've been working on the stages of life as well as body parts and systems, i.e. digestive, skeletal, muscular, circulatory, respiratory, nervous. They created books with Mrs. Melzer the last time they met so they can use that to prepare for the body parts and systems portion of the test."
Field Trip Monday May, 11th
HALL OF HEROES: READ CAREFULLY!!! 5-6 pm for family & friends!
The Hall will be open to family and friends in the evening between 5-6pm. If your child goes to STAR, I'll pick them up from STAR and get them changed in time for the event. If you can pack them an extra snack that day to have right before the event that'd be helpful. If your child does not go to STAR, please plan on bringing them back to school dressed in their costumes by 4:45pm so that they have enough time to get settled in their places."
First Ever WeHo Elementary Pop-Up Art Gallery May 13th!
Friends of West Hollywood Elementary (FOWHE), Voila! Studio and the arts committee is excited to announce our first ever, one night only "pop-up art gallery" fine arts exhibit and sale on Weds., May 13th at Voila! Studio (518 N. La Brea, between Melrose and Beverly) from 4-8 pm. Up for sale will be incredible donated works by notable artists, photographers, and LA street artists, as well as classroom art that the kids from West Hollywood have created. Donated art will be for sale at incredible prices, and we are overwhelmed by the generosity of the artists who have contributed. The evening will be casual and fun - with live music, a museum style pop-up shop filled with something at every price point, free drinks (donations welcome) and food. Best part? All of the proceeds go right back to our kids to help fund important programs that LAUSD no longer pays for - PE, teacher aides, music, art, field trips, assemblies and more. Please go to our facebook page for more info, as well as let us know you're coming! https://www.facebook.com/events/1594533830793105/
And, check out the website to see the list of all artists who have donated so far and please check out their pages because we are so grateful to them! ExtraOrdinary.com

Please TRY to get 10 pledges of $20 each in order to reach the $50,000 overall goal. Permission slips are REQUIRED in order to participate. Permission slips AND pledge sheets are due MAY 15th!!!
All materials should have been sent home in your child's folder, but if not, you can find here:

Forms can go back to teachers or there will be a box in the office.
We will need about 30 volunteers to do things like setup and run the fitness events from 8:30 - 11:30 that day. We will send out a sign-up genius closer to the event.
