PTA President's Message - May 2008

Hello Arlington Families,

How many books did your child read? We’ve recently completed a week where our kids were invited to explore their imagination as they dove into new adventures through the pages of a good book. Thank you to Terie Tinsley and all her helpers for making this wonderful Reading Incentive Week possible. We also give many thanks to all of our teachers who encourage reading each and every day.

On April 25th, Arlington had their second annual Jog-a-thon. Students jogged to support healthier lifestyles. Funds raised will supplement our current programs and provide resources and supplies for all Arlington students to succeed. Thank you for your generous donations for all our children. Thank you to Nancy Nishihira and her committee for organizing this event. Special thanks go to DJ KD (Keith Dasalla) for providing the upbeat music for our students to jog to.

Our Art docents have been hard at work putting together our annual Adventures in Art Gallery to be held Friday, May 16th in our Arlington cafetorium starting at 6:00 pm. One piece of artwork from each student from kindergarten through fifth grade will be displayed. I hope you will take time out of your busy schedules to stop by to see all the hidden talent that our docents have uncovered. We have many budding artists here at Arlington.

There are still many activities coming up this month. Arlington’s Open House is just around the corner. Come out and visit your child’s classroom on May 22nd, and stop by the cafetorium for some yummy ice cream at our annual Ice Cream Social. We finish up the month by saying thank you to all of Arlington’s wonderful teachers. Our Teacher Appreciation Week will be May 27th – May 30th. Talk to your room parents to see what fun activities are planned as we show our appreciation to those who directly impact the future of our country.

“Our Children, Our Shining Future.”

 

Together We Can,

Miho Noda
PTA President
