Week of May 22-26, 2023

 Happy Friday Trailblazer families,


This week was filled with wonderful learning experiences from our youngest to our oldest Trailblazers!  Our Kindergarteners had a fantastic time with a Phil Tulga Assembly.  They were introduced to different types of instruments while Phil told some amazing stories!  Thank you PTC for funding this experience!


Our 5th graders had a terrific visit from Sacramento Sheriff Lieutenant, Mr. Lopez (Mrs. Lopez’s husband).  They enjoyed learning about his job and even got to take a peek inside of his police car!  Thank you, Mr. Lopez for visiting our Trailblazers!

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.

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 outside with lots of games! This year to facilitate the best experience for the kids we need volunteer support.  Please remember that all volunteers need to be a category 2.  Sign up to volunteer - www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0F4DA5AC28ABF58-field.  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.   

 

FIRE WORKS:  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 back packs 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 being taped to a wall 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. 


Looking forward to seeing everyone at Open House next week!

Warmest regards,

Mrs. Phillips
