I hope everyone enjoyed their Spring Break. What amazing weather we had for most of the break! Five days of 50+ and sunshine. Wow!
Reminders
Books Wanted – The upper school is hosting a gently used book sale later this month to benefit earthquake victims in Haiti. Please bring your new or gently used books to the school during the next few weeks. Then come to the sale at the end of the month and pick up enough books to restock your shelves and enrich your mind.
Seed sales – Seed orders are due on Monday, March 15th for the K/1 seed sale. The money earned by Teacher Lisa’s class will be donated to Heifer International.
Curriculum Night – [Postponed] This year we will be focusing on our social studies/theme curriculum. Teachers are preparing fun activities in each classroom and all families are invited to visit as many classrooms as they wish during the evening. This is a fun way to learn about the social studies/theme curriculum at Friends. Please come.
Open House – Our next Open house is Friday March 19th from 9 to 12 noon. We are asking all parents to help spread the word and are also seeking a few volunteers to help with the tours.
Community Offerings - Spring is coming, with opportunities for quilting, gardening and enjoying organic produce! Tr. Dorothy’s “Quilting Bee with Lunch and Good Company” has been rescheduled and there’s still time to sign up! And we have two Community Offerings, from kindergarten parent Sabine Carey of Full Circle Farms, which will make you realize spring is just around the corner: an organic garden kit that will get you set for your own tasty organic garden in your back yard; and a full CSA farmshare - vegetables, flower and herbs - for the 2010 season. For more information, visit our Community Offerings website and the Full Circle Farms website, or contact Beth Giles, bgiles@scfriends.org.
Spices - We hope to see you there (Friday, March 26 at 7pm). One of our school parents who attended last year had this to say: “I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere It was really great to see people I see regularly but without kids to have enjoyable conversations and get to know people better. It was a nice casual event with great food, yummy local beers and lots of fun people. It was a great mix of people, some friends school parents but many from outside the school too.”
