Week of 5/15-19/23

Happy Friday Trailblazer families,


We had another amazing week here at Diamond Creek!  One of the highlights was a visit from one of our Kindergarten parents and his co-worker that are California Highway Patrolmen.  The kindergarteners had a blast learning about their jobs and getting to check out the squad car and motorcycle.  Thank you so much for coming to visit our school!  

NEXT WEEK IS OUR FINAL SPIRIT WEEK OF THE YEAR

Thank you to our members of Leadership Council and it’s staff advisors, Ms. Triplett and Mrs. Lopez for coming up with such fun ideas to show our spirit this year!

2023 Spring into Summer Book Fair

for volunteering for our Spring into Summer Book Fair! This fair runs Monday through Friday May 22nd-26th, with set-up on Friday morning, May 19th, and tear-down on Friday afternoon, May 26th. If you have ANY questions about a job be sure to ask! There are no silly questions! :) As a bonus, you get $5 Scholastic dollars to spend on Book Fair items for every hour worked. Admit it, you have your eyes on those scented gummy erasers, don't you? We can help! Here are the different types of shifts: Fair set-up: Transform the library by unpacking and setting out books and cases on Friday morning, May 19th. We hope to start at 10:00 AM but this is dependent on the fair being dropped off early morning.  Please leave your cell phone number so we can send text updates in case the fair hasn't arrived on time.  Preview shopping is available after set-up is complete! Cashiering: Fun and fast-paced during busy times! The registers are touch-screen and easy to learn, and we're always nearby for questions.

END OF YEAR STAFF LUNCHEON:  Wednesday, May 24 – Please help us celebrate the end of the year as we treat our beloved Diamond Creek staff to a delicious end of year appreciation luncheon.  PTC is catering with sandwiches.  We want to thank you them for all they have done to make this such a successful year!

FIELD DAY: We are getting excited for the end of the school year and that means FIELD DAY!  Field Day is June 2 and it is one of the best days of the school year where everyone gets to have fun!  This year to facilitate the best experience for the kids, all volunteers need to be a category 2.  Attention 4th & 5th graders parents – each 4th and 5th graders will need a field trip permission signed if you want your kids access to the exciting games and activities being offered at the park (upper grades will have more space and the park will be used this year).  If your child does not have a permission slip signed, they will not have access to the park to participate in this year’s activities. Please look for field trip permission slips coming home soon.   

 

FIREWORKS:  Fireworks sign up is in full swing and we will be sending home a flyer for presale $10 tickets to spend at the booth – look for a flyer in backpacks for more information.  Surprise – we have been told if we sell enough Mrs. Phillips might do something the kids love to celebrate. [Possibilities could include dunk tanks or even being kissed by a pig]  To reserve your volunteer spot early, please visit: https://signupgenius.com/go/30e0a44acac2fa4f85-fireworks1#/

 

LOST and FOUND: It’s getting to be the end of the school year and you don’t want to miss out on your kid’s items. There are a lot of jackets, coats, water bottles, etc. that are waiting to return to their homes. Please stop by the front entry area to claim your items. 


Wishing everyone a wonderful and happy Mother's Day weekend!  

Warmest regards,

Mrs. Phillips

Updates from our week at Diamond Creek  Thank you to all of our parents for taking time to meet with your child's teacher this week.  Our teachers appreciate this face to face meeting time with you.  We are all a team working together to help each child at Diamond Creek be successful and your support is such an important piece of the puzzle.  Thank you for your time and support! On Tuesday, we were lucky enough to have our local Fire Department visit us and lead us through a fire safety assembly.  The students learned what to do in the case of a fire and were able to see the transformation that happens when our firefighters put on all of their gear.  On Wednesday, we had a building wide "READING DRILL".  We all stopped, dropped and read! It was a delight to see students throughout our whole building reading for 15 minutes all together.  I had so many students afterwards tell me they wished it was longer and ask if we could do that everyday!

  9/9/2022   Happy Friday Trailblazer families,   We completed our LEAD Passport adventure today.  Your children have now traveled to all 7 of our common areas to learn what it looks like to be great Listeners, be Empathetic, be Accountable and how to be Disciplined. Due to the smoke, we had them meet in their Village Meeting Spot and the presenters traveled to the students. These passports should have gone home with them today.  It would be wonderful to have them step into the role of being the teacher and share with you what they learned about each area’s expectations.     DC NEWS IS BACK Our Student Leadership under the direction of Ms. Triplett and Mrs. Lopez is back in action.  One of the projects they work on is our DC News.  Click HERE to see this week’s broadcast!     SPIRIT WEEK-GETTING READY FOR OUR WALK-A-THON We have a great week of school spirit ahead culminating with our Walk-a-thon on Friday, September 16t...
