Walk-a-thon Tomorrow!

There is no homework due to the Walk-a-thon tomorrow. 

WALK-A-THON TOMORROW! Please bring in all collected donations for Muttvile!
ALL K-8 students will walk from the University campus to the ECC campus, where they'll be greeted by ECC students serving lemonade; then they'll walk to Ohlone Park, where they'll eat lunch, play games, and and make art.  They'll then return to the University campus for reflection before dismissing at the usual time. Please make sure your child is at TBS on time (and in proper walking attire!) so that we can get our Walk-a-thon shirts sorted and get ready for the 9 am assembly. 

Painting Next Week:  Next week we will be painting the keepsake boxes we have been working on using latex and acrylic paints.  The first bit of painting will be the most treacherous for our clothing.  It would be best for your child to wear clothing that can handle a paint stain or two.  You may also send an old, large shirt with your child to act as a smock they can put on, or if you have an apron . . .

I will do my best to prepare the space for the least amount of paint issues, but it is bound to happen, and is a hazard of the creative process.  We will be painting on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
