4/5 Room Parents -

 

5th graders attending JLS, Jordan or Terman next year are invited to visit their campus this Friday morning.  4th graders, and 5th graders not attending a PAUSD middle school will stay at Ohlone during this time.  Teachers and room parents are coordinating drivers.  All 5th grade parents have been sent home the attached permission slip via the 5th grade yahoo group.  Teachers have been sent a copy as well. 

 

Please check with your teacher to organize carpools.  It may be that some classes share carpools across classrooms (especially for Terman and Jordan).

 

Note that it is OK for parents to stay and go on the tour, but it is also ok for drivers to bring 5th graders to the front office, make sure they are set, then return in time to pick up and drive back to Ohlone.  At drop off, please ask what time to return.  I believe they expect parents back to pick up no later than 12:15.

 

Thanks

Deborah -

I'm forwarding this to you so you (and room parents) would have the permission slip for Friday's middle school visits.  Each class is organzing on their own, so I'm not sure if the teacher is doing it or a room parent.  Wanted to keep you in the loop...

4/5 Teachers -
Thanks for letting us pass out t-shirts and party packets in your classrooms today.  Nice to see smiling faces and a sea of blue t-shirts!

I'm forwarding this email which was sent on 5/5 and contained the permission slip for Friday's middle school visits (attached). 
Each class/room parent is organizing their own drivers (but may want to consider overlapping with other classrooms if not many kids are going - maybe Terman or Jordan?).

Thanks.

Ohlone 5th grade parents -
 
Information below about

• Middle school visits on Friday May 20th - please return permission slip by Fri. 5/13
  
• Class gift selected
• Class t-shirts
• Spring Fling (May 21st 4-7pm)
• Yearbook pages
• Volunteering at the promotion party
  

Middle School visitation.  On Friday May 20th, 5th grade students attending PAUSD middle schools next year can visit their middle school from 10:15-12:15 (approx).  For your convenience and that of your teacher, we have attached a field trip permission slip.  Please print, fill it out, sign it, and return to your 5th grader's teacher by Friday, May 13.  Please indicate on the bottom if you are able to drive and how many children you can take.  If your child is not attending JLS, Jordan, or Terman next year, please let your child's teacher know she/he will not be visiting one of the middle schools.  Your child will stay at Ohlone with the 4th graders. 
 
Class Gift.  Drum roll please....  If you didn't hear from your child last week, the 5th graders have selected a class gift of a mural for the school!  Morgan, from Murals by Morgan will be coming to Ohlone on April 10th or 11th at lunchtime to brainstorm with the 5th graders.  She'll then do 3 mock up drawings and come back the following week at lunchtime and the kids will pick their favorite.  During the first week of June, the mural will be painted in 2 days while the kids are at school.  5th grade parents Laura Wingard and Jane Bloomsmith have helped guide the 5th graders through the process of selecting a gift - first soliciting ideas from all 5th graders, then narrowing down to 5 choices that were appropriate (hippo for the farm, a slurpee machine and a water slide were nixed).  Last, the 5th graders were able to vote.  The mural idea was selected over planting trees, providing soccer goals and extra balls, buying bean bag chairs for the library and donating the money raised to the school. 
 
T-shirts.  Class t-shirts (which look great!) will be given to your 5th grader in a few weeks with printed information about the class promotion party.  Thanks to 5th grade parents Eleanor Lin for taking on this process and Riki Morita for creating a new fabulous design.  During voting for the class gift, kids were also able to vote on a t-shirt color.  Please write your child's name on the tag when it comes home!  We hope that they will wear their t-shirt to the Spring Fling and of course to the softball game and promotion party on June 9th.
 
Spring Fling.  Saturday May 21st, 4-7pm.  Katie Strohmayer and Shaul Hurwitz will be helping to coordinate the ice cream sale fundraiser for the class gift.  The emphasis will be on the kids being involved in all aspects of raising money for their class gift:  sales, marketing, service and accounting.  In addition, we will need many parents to help with this fundraiser (a couple of parents to purchase ice cream, 4-6 parents to help set up the booth, and 4-6 to work as advisers during sales).  Please volunteer to help in some way if you are able.  By this time, we should have the final mock up of the mural on display for all to see.  Should be a fun night.
 
Yearbook pages.  Thanks to all who have turned in their yearbook pages and to Annie Bedichek for coordinating this project!

Promotion Party.  In a few weeks your child will bring home his/her t-shirt and information about the promotion party.  Please consider volunteering to help at the party (11:30-3:30 on the last day of school). 

Thanks.
