St. Mark's Parent Guild Bulletin
May 16, 2013
Tomorrow is the deadline for the End of Year Appreciation Fund, which is a great way to recognize St. Mark's teachers and staff. Participation is completely voluntary and we will collect donations to be divided equally. Click here to participate.
This year has been a fantastic year for St. Mark's and for the Parent Guild. We are so grateful for our AMAZING parents who share their time, talent and creativity. A very special thanks to our committee chairs for all they did to make this year special. Lastly, we are so grateful to our outgoing officers Carla Singer, Cathy Crabtree and Stacia Currier. All three of these ladies were devoted, energetic volunteers whose leadership will be missed.
Have a wonderful summer and we will see you at Open House!
Sincerely,
Carrie Gillette
Parent Guild Vice President

Teacher Appreciation Week - THANK YOU!
Thank you to all the volunteers who helped make Teacher Appreciation (May 6th - 10th) special! A huge thanks to committee chair, Tonya Pickron for organizing such an amazing week of treats! The teachers & staff all enjoyed a catered (and student-free!) lunch on Tuesday and received a special treat in their box each day including treats from Jerry Built & Arbonne.
Summer Reading
Happiness: 5 Steps to Help Kids Create and Sustain Lifelong Joy" by
Edward M. Hallowell for our Fall Book Club.
Connection, play, practice, mastery, and recognition: as fundamental as these five concepts are, they hold the key to raising children with healthy self-esteem, moral awareness, and spiritual values.
Get a head start and begin reading over the summer, we will meet to discuss the book in early Fall.
