C2C Week #7 - EOY Close Out

Please consider joining us for our EOY parade, Friday morning at 8:15 (parade begins at 8:30) we'll line up at the school.  Paint your car, make signs, bring balloons - whatever you choose.  Your personal children may ride with you.  Our parade will follow the two routes printed In the Loop. Each route will be led by one of our School Buses and a SRO. 

It is very important for you to respond as quickly as possible to any emails that the office staff may send out this week. So many of the things we are navigating this week are time sensitive and we can't wait an hour or more for a response. Thanks in advance for your help.

I have a few spots for Pledge Helpers this week.  Sign Up Here

Our Specialist have been working on a video salute to our Fifth Graders.  PLEASE send in a picture of you holding a sign with well wishes similar to what we would have done for our Fifth Grade Clap out.  PICTURES ARE DUE MONDAY 5/18    Load picture HERE!

Update From Kathleen:

"The Doctor came in and said that Bo would need to stay another night.  They are doing another echo tomorrow then making a decision about coming home. Bo's stats on his heart dropped a little yesterday, but his numbers look better today.  He is off the light!  Please pray for the same results on the echo as the other day!"

C2C #6

I watched this video (the link is below) this morning and immediately thought of you and the tremendous sacrifices you have made during this  Classroom to Cloud learning time. It is easy to see the struggle that binds us all together.  All over America, we are all giving it our best for the children. Thank you- I'm so thankful to be on your team!

We are creating a "Memories of Troy" video montage for The Ellis Family. If  teachers who had a relationship with Troy would like to submit a memory, feel free to do so as well. 

There are three simple steps:

1) Click the link below.

2) Start your video with your name and how you knew Troy.

3) Share your memory.

Some ideas of what to share would be...your favorite memory of Troy, a funny time you shared together, a characteristic you admired about him, what made Troy a good friend, who was Troy and what did he mean to you...or a similar story personal to you.

The video is the most important submission, but you are welcome to add up to 2 pictures per person if you would like.
