I hope to see everyone at Heritage Night next Wednesday May 16 from 5-7:30 in the MUR.  This year we have many performers, and of course, all of the wonderful food!  Come help us celebrate the rich diversity of cultures we have at our school.

Date:           Wednesday, May 16th
Time:           5:00pm – 7:30pm
Location:    Arundel’s MU-room and Science Lab

This year we have many amazing performers including: Steel Drummers, Latin Guitarists, and Las Aolelitas dancing. Among the crafts, we will be making tissue paper flowers in preparation for Arundel’s participation in the Hometown Days Parade!

The Hometown Days parade is next Saturday May 19th. This year’s theme is “32 Years of Hometown Cheers!” Join your friends and walk in the parade to show your Arundel pride. We will carry the tissue paper flowers that will be made at Heritage Night (May 16th 5pm-7:30pm).

We need a cheer leader to lead us in a cheer as we walk past the judges during the parade! Arundel is also hosting the golf game booth Sunday and we need volunteers to take 30 minute to 1 hour shifts.  We will have a sign up link on this website soon. Contact Monique Imbernon at moniqueimbernon AT att DOT net to help or for more information.

If you were not able to attend the family shopping night and are looking for some summer reading (even for your preschooler or middle schooler), you can shop at Scholastic Online at this link. The books will be delivered to your student at Arundel and a portion of the sales will go to our library. Online shopping will end on Friday, May 18th.

Shop at Bianchini’s on Wednesday, May 16th, and they will donate 5% of the store’s total daily proceeds to the San Carlos Education Foundation.   While you’re shopping, enjoy a complimentary wine tasting with Spann Vineyards poured by Susana Lerner, Wine Rep & SCEF Parent.  Tasting from 4:30pm-7:00pm  Join us!

Until then…   Each of their check stands has a collection jar.  Get rid of your loose change each time you come into the store. You can also drop a donation by check or bills. Their goal is to raise $2,000 in these jars!

Items for discussion include: Staffing, Transitional Kindergarten, Budget, Facilities & Enrollment, Out of District Charter Students. Click here to view the full agenda.

Wednesday, May 2 is our bowling event for Arundel.  A reminder to all students and parents involved that bowling starts at 1:30pm at Bel Mateo.  Students are to meet teachers and staff at the bowling alley.  The event ends at 3:30pm so parents, please arrange for drop off and pick up appropriately.

John Nazar, Principal at Tierra Linda Middle School, will be visiting the Arundel MUR on Monday 5/14 starting at 8:45 a.m.  He will be here for  4th grade parents who may have some questions about moving on to Middle School.  I will also be joining him as I  have experience at Tierra Linda.  Please come and join us!

A reminder to parents that STAR testing will be administered for grades 2-4 on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week and next week from 8:45am – 10:15am each day.  It is crucial that students arrive to school on time as we begin testing in the morning.
