Weekly RAM Newsletter
A Brief Note from Dr. Burke
Dear Ram families,
Our annual Scholastic Book Fair starts this week! Students will visit the book fair with their language arts classes and have additional opportunities to visit before school, during lunch, and after school between the hours of 8am-3:30pm M-W, 9am-3:30pm on Thursday and 8am-1:30pm on Friday. This is a great time to stock up on titles that your child will love to read. We also plan to host a family event on Wednesday from 5-7:30pm, which will include a raffle and special deals. Be sure to stop by and support the TPMS library! Please note that the library will not be open for Power Hour this week because of the Book Fair.
St. Patrick’s Day Lucky Charm grams will be sold in the quad during both lunches this Wednesday through Friday for $1 each. Hurry up and get yours before they sell out. They will be delivered on St. Patrick’s Day. Science Olympiad meets on Wednesday during both lunches as they prepare for their regional tournament later in the month. Also on Wednesday, come out to support CJSF by having dinner at Rubio's. Click here for the flyer!
Current 8th graders interested in learning more about AVID in high school will have an opportunity to hear from the Poway High AVID team this Wednesday during Ram. If you have any questions, please contact our AVID Coordinator, Mrs. Matautia, at mmatautia@powayusd.com.
I look forward to seeing all our students tomorrow, and remember, it's a 3/5/1 day.
Sincerely,
Dr. Burke
