I’m sorry! The Gazette that just got sent home with students on Monday says it’s for March when in reality- it is for April. I’m sorry about that!

THANK YOU Arcadia PTCA for putting on a wonderful Sweetheart Breakfast yet again! Let’s see now, I want to list all the parents that I saw helping this morning . . . if I forget someone, please forgive me. Carri Breckner & Deb Paulson headed up the Sweetheart planning committee and they were busy doing rounds and making sure that all went smoothly - AWESOME job ladies! I know you did a LOT of work prior to this morning too. Thank you! I saw Gloria Hartley taking pictures, Laura Huff helping with the food and I know there were more PTCA members who helped out. PLUS~ Students Kelsey Bitten, Kaitlyn Mataya, Kelsey Simonson & Adele Rintamaki were cashiers for the picture table. Thank you young ladies - you did great!
Many thanks to you PTCA - for all the memories made this morning!

Volunteer Op!
Filed Under Volunteering | Leave a Comment
I received this volunteer job description too late to make it into the January Volunteer Gazette. But it’s a great opportunity for someone!
Mrs. Aguirre’s 3rd grade class needs someone to come in every morning from 8:35 - 8:50 to help in their classroom library. If you can’t do every day, let me know what days you can do, and we’ll find someone else for the other days. Loving libraries and kiddos as I do - this just sounds like a lot of fun! Give me a call if you’re interested! DeaTheVC at 464-5781
