We are still trying to fill some crucial roles for next year and we need your help. We are looking for an Arundel Chair for the Education Foundation. Please get in touch with me for more information and a job description. It is substantial role but a worthwhile, fun role which will really get you involve in the San Carlos school community. This role can be shared. Grab a friend and join us!

We also need an Arundel Spring Fling Coordinator. This is a role with some time commitment involved but again, such a fun thing to do. Please contact me for more information.
Thanks

Congratulations to the Arundel winners!  Brenda Y., Kaitlyn J., Rita K., Elizabeth M., Joshua L., and Genevieve L.

We received many excellent entries, and the competition was fierce. Thank you everyone for your wonderful submissions.

All Arundel first graders are invited to participate in the Hometown Days Concert this Friday, May 17th at 5pm at Burton Park.

1st graders will perform a few songs from their music class at around 6:25pm. They are immediately dismissed after they sing. A parent/guardian must be present; no drop offs will be permitted since their performance will only be 5-10 minutes. Please wear an Arundel tshirt (class shirt, Fun Run, etc.) or Arundel Colors (Blue & White!)

We will meet together at the park at 6:15pm by the sound booth. Immediately after the performance, kids will be dismissed to sit with their parents for the remainder of the concert.

We will have a brief meeting Friday after school from 2:30-2:45pm in the MU to go over what we will be doing that evening. Please pick up your child and bring them with you to the MU for this meeting.

Please let us know if your first grade child would like to participate. We can also use 2 parent volunteers to help manage the kids while we wait to perform. Click here to signup. 

I hope many of you can join us!

It’s for the kids in all 7 San Carlos schools!

Spring Fling is upon us and we need you! There are tons of opportunities to help out before, during, and after the event!
