important note from Mr. S from andrea

Dear Fifth Grade Parents,
It is tradition in our school that the fifth-grade provides a reception for the eighth and first grades following the rose ceremony on the last day of school.
If you have it in you to be a go to person in coordinating and or caring out this reception, thank you in advance!
The person to contact is Carole Cressman, she will know exactly what needs to be done. Again, thank you so much and I'm sorry that this comes to you so late. 
Sincerely, Peter

Hi all,

This is a really important piece of the Rose Ceremony--Sr. Class families are invited, too. It's under the trees over near the bridge/handwork drying shed, etc...

I'm happy to bring a flat of bubbly water, but I've got a graduate, so don't have the time or willingness to set up and/or take down the table. 

It's pretty straightforward, but a long-standing expectation. I would suggest someone volunteer to get the coffee/tea service set up and several volunteers provide the reception food which is only mini muffins/sliced breakfast breads and fresh fruit... nothing more. I'll grab the bubbly water and a couple loaves of banana or other bread to plate/slice. 

Carole will have details on the table, cloths, possibly coffee service. We'll need--probably--to check about plates/napkins/hot cups, too.

Best,
Rebecca

Dear 5th grade families,

I am happy to help facilitate Rose Ceremony gathering for the 8th and 12th grade families on Friday morning. I will need a few more people to help assist me, as I have a four year with me. Please contact me if you are willing to help set up, break down and host the event on Friday morning.  More details to come soon....  I have still yet to connect with Carol, although left message.  I believe this event is similar to the lily Ceremony in the beginning of the year when we have hosted light foods and beverages for 1st grade families, near the bridge by the walkway. Please if every family can bring something to eat or drink, such as muffins, watermelon, fruit, etc. it will help us put on a lovely gathering for the families who are moving on to high school and college. Please email me what you plan on bringing so we can know exactly what is coming. If you cannot help with the event, the food is greatly appreciated!!! Thank you so much for all your participation and ability to support our families who are moving on.

Warmly,

Jill

Dear Fifth Grade Parents,

I am happy to share with each of you that myself and Akasha will be representing the uprising 6th grade class on the parent council next school year. As many of you already know, the parent council serves as a communication link between parents, the administration and the board members, as well as a work force team.  The meetings are held monthly and are open to all. If you have any ideas or questions we will do our best to represent them and inquire about any information you may have about a subject.  Please feel free to connect with myself or Akasha directly. In the weekly school newsletters there is a link with the monthly parent council meeting notes as to all the work the parent council has done so far, and is currently doing, as well as their mission statement. We will do our best to inform everyone as to the changes that are taking place as well as reach out for support if and when it arrises.  All ideas are welcome and we look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you,

Jill Gerichter

Hi all,

I volunteered last week to bring a flat of bubbly water and a tray of sliced banana bread (or similar), but have a graduate, so can't assist in set up/break down. Thanks

Rebecca

Hello again,

Thanks to Maraka and Cynthia for organizing the Rose Ceremony Event.  Forgive the confusion... I just talked with Maraka and they are busy working out details and will send a food list and what will be needed from the fifth grade class for Friday.  Thanks to everyone's quick responses. I will be there to assist and they will be the contact people.

Thanks again ladies!!!

See you all Friday!

Jill

Hello Grade 5!
>>
>> Andrea, Maraka, and I got more clarification from Carole about the event this Friday, and I think we have a better idea of what is needed. This event is meant to be a sweet, heart-felt celebration, and Carole stressed the idea that this should not be a stressful event. That being said, please feel free to reach out if there are any questions or concerns.
>>
>> Tables, tablecloths, cups and plates, coffee and tea service items will be provided by the school. What is needed are:
>>
>> 3-5 volunteers to set-up in the morning
>>
>> 3-4 volunteers to man the tables during the reception
>>
>> 3-5 volunteers to help clean up after the reception
>>
>> We also need snacks and drinks for 60 people, which can be brought on Friday, which might look like:
>>
>> 10-12 people providing food/snacks, (easy, finger foods seem to be the order of the day)
>>
>> 6-8 people bringing drinks
>>
>> If anyone would like to contribute any flowers or other decoration to the tables, please feel free to make it pretty!
>>
>> Please put yourself into any slots that you see that you can provide, and reply all, so we can keep track of what is needed.
>>
>> Blessings and gratitude for our class and our gifts to this ceremony,
>>
>> Cynthia

Hi! I got flowers covered. Working on food list. Some of you have already talked to Cynthia about what you can bring. I have it down. Working on email of food list here soon. So far we have muffins and bread that's getting covered well but still need other items. I'm doing a quiche/casserole and Cynthia has cheese and crackers and lemonade. Cynthia and I will be there for set up. I will be there throughout. I'm going to be there about 745 ish to start brewing coffee in Hooper hall I will put out 3 containers of coffee and one for hot water. Carole will have the tables set up already. I have the table cloths as they were dirty and needed to be washed. I got some runners to put on top of them and will bring flowers. So those who want to help in morning can maybe come 8 or 815? Should be fairly easy. If we need more space for food or weather is weird I can put stuff in library as Sally and I have it closed due to inventory this week. I'll meet with Carole again Thursday for last minute details but that's what I have for now. Hope that helps. Mar

[Akasha Grace]

Hi all. I had gotten back to Cynthia and changed my offering to two vegetarian quiches. Not bringing something sweet if someone else wants to do that. Ok if we have more than 1 person doing quiche??

Tnx
