There’s so much going on over these last few weeks of school, that I need to send out a mid-week update.  Many of the events need parent volunteers or participation, so please read through all of the following carefully and please offer to help out where you can.  If you’ve wanted to volunteer for something, but haven’t been sure what you can do, here’s your chance!  Any time you can give will truly be appreciated by everyone.

The PTA wants to raise money for technology purchases and upgrades at Roosevelt, so they’re holding a few end of the year fundraisers.  Two teachers still need document cameras in the classroom and all of the teachers need the cords that connect their document cameras with their computers.  The PTA would also like to purchase two more computers for the computer lab to accommodate the larger class sizes.

Volunteers Needed for Field Day…
Field Day is tomorrow!  The students will be divided into teams and will participate in games and activities. This is such a fun event for the whole school.  The teachers will be busy directing their groups to the next station/event, so parent volunteers are needed to help lead activities.  Everything will be provided for you.  Please contact Emily Devitis emilydevitis@gmail.com if you are available to help from 9:45-11:30.

Meeting…
There will be a meeting about the need to install speed bumps on Vera Avenue to slow down traffic making the front entrance of the school safer for our children.  The meeting will be in the Faculty Lounge at 7:30pm on Thursday, May 26.  Council member Ian Bain will be there to listen to your concerns.

Volunteers Needed for Movie Night…
At last night’s PTA meeting, it was decided that pizza, nachos and corn would be available for sale before the June 3 movie night so that families can come and enjoy something to eat before watching the movie.  Water, popcorn and candy will also be for sale during the movie.  Volunteers are needed both before and during the movie to help.  Please contact Aurora Gallardo aurora.gallardo@yfes.org or Kim Schiff kbschiff@sbcglobal.net

Bake sale items needed…
Valerie Romero has been busy selling items for the bake sale after school.  If you have any baked items that you would like to contribute, please drop them off in the school office.  If you have any questions, please contact Valerie Romero romero.valeriagomez@gmail.com

That’s it for now!  Again, please offer to volunteer your time.  The more volunteers we have for Field Day and Movie Night, the more fun it will be for everyone!
