REMINDERS FOR THE WEEK......
California Standards Testing is this week. Just a reminder.
STEVENSON ROCKS DONATIONS:
Please, please, please donate an item or two towards our Stevenson Rocks! Baskets. The deadline is this FRIDAY! I’m guilty of completely forgetting to pick up a donation item for my daughter’s class so I completely understand if you haven’t had a chance yet. When you do, just send the item (See below) in with your child and they can put it in the box in Mrs. Hill’s room. If you don’t have time to pick something up, a monetary donation would be fantastic! You can make a check out to Families for Stevenson and leave it in the office or you can use this PAYPAL link: http://piratesapps.appspot.com/donation/ . Thanks so much for your generosity!!!

Stevenson Rocks! Donations: Please Give What You Can - No Amount is Too Small
Can you believe it’s almost the end of the year?!?! Aside from Promotion, we have another big event coming up that keeps getting bigger and better each year – Stevenson Rocks! I wanted to share a bit of information I received about the event and also ask for donations as each class is collecting items for gift baskets to be bid on at the Silent Auction during Stevenson Rocks as well as beverage donations. Please know that I know how hard times are for quite a few of us so do not feel pressure to donate more than you know you can financially give. Obviously, we need donations in order to keep our arts program alive at Stevenson but if you feel you can only give a few dollars, please know that whatever you give will help our school tremendously. Or if you’d like to donate your time, just let me know. There are many ways to help out at Stevenson Rocks!
What is Stevenson Rocks?
Stevenson Rocks is a FFS FUNdraiser that happens every year in May. This year it is on May 7th. It is a 1950’s theme this year. Here is a little note about the event from one of the FFS Presidents…
Stevenson Rocks! is Family For Stevenson's annual fundraiser. Held each spring (May 7th 2010), the event features an impressive silent auction, a live concert, games, food, shopping, and activities for members of the whole family. This year, we're going retro - 50s style and we're even having a car show! The money raised will be used to fund Stevenson's dance program, art program, garden, library and with the pink slips given to the music and physical education teacher, we could be paying their salaries next year as well! That makes this year's Stevenson Rocks Around The Arts an even more crucial occasion!
How you can help through donation…
Each family in each classroom is being asked donate either money to purchase items or specific items (see below) that will be made into baskets that will be auctioned off during Stevenson Rocks. The Silent Auction portion is a huge money-maker for Stevenson and, as stated above, we all know our school needs the money more than ever. Check out the list of items below that we are collecting for two specific theme baskets as well as a list of beverages needed for the event.
“Hound Dog” Themed Basket: Examples, -- Pooch stuff, ice cream gift certificates, Hot Dog On A Stick gift certificates, movie gift cards, Pickwick gift cards
(Please note that we are not asking you to put together a basket. Just simply buy an item or two (or donate money towards items) and the FFS committee will actually make the baskets.)
Also, each GRADE is asked to donate some beverages. We need beverage donations brought into the office DUE BY MAY 3rd. As I know quite a few of us have children in several grades, here is the list for each grade.
K- Water
1st-Coke
2nd- Diet Coke
3rd- Diet and Regular Pepsi
4th- Sierra Mist or Sprite
5th- Anything besides things listed above. i.e. Root Beer, Lemonade, Fruit Punch.
Where to drop the items/donate money…
If you purchase items for the baskets, please bring them to the front office or send them through you child to give to Mrs. Hill. I will provide a box labeled “Stevenson Rocks Donations” for Mrs. Hill’s room. If you are donating money, there is file folder caddy in the office on the wall across from where Deidre sits closest to the teacher’s mail room. I believe it’s labeled ROOM REPS. You will see a file folder for MRS.HILL. Feel free to place donation money in an envelope in that file folder. I’ll be checking it regularly.
Thanks again for any and all help you can offer! It should be a great event with lots of fun stuff to do for both kids and adults. One of Mrs. Hill’s class parents will be performing on the stage but I’m keeping it a secret as to who. Come to Rocks! and find out. :)
Please don’t hesitate to write or call with questions. You’ll likely get reminder emails from me as the April 16th and May 3rd so don’t shoot me when you see my name pop up in your e-mail.
Looking forward to seeing you all at Stevenson Rocks!
Take care,
Kiersten

Happy Valentine's Party Day
Hi Parents!
I wanted to give a quick update on things happening in and out of the classroom.
Today is the Valentine's Party sponsored by PTA!
In lieu of charging each Room Rep with hosting a party for their respective class, the PTA sponsors an all-school Valentine's party during lunch. I'm sure it cuts down on the Room Rep 0ne-upping of party ideas, too. :) (I would've trucked in snow from the mountains and had a real-life cupid come in and serve sundaes from a sundae bar. JUST KIDDING! I don't know any cupids.) Anyways, the party is held in the lunch shelter, the playground and the library. Each child gets a cookie from PTA and can participate in the activities such as crafts, tug-o-war, and dancing. I just wanted to let you know in case your kids talk about a Valentine's party and you have no idea what they're talking about.

The Artist Book Report is due on Feb 26th.
