PRINCIPAL’S NOTES:  

 

1)  As a result of the technology in schools levy, seventy-four new computers have arrived at Salmon Bay School.  A big thank you to the fabulous group of volunteers who, under the guidance of our outstanding librarian, Ginny, unpacked and set-up all the computers this past weekend!

 

2)  The Alliance for Education is hosting community meetings around the city to gather feedback relating to our school district’s professional development early release days that have been a part of the 2002-2003 school year calendar.  Our school is one of twenty-seven that will be hosting a meeting.  The meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, January 29th, 2003 at 7 p.m. in the cafeteria.

 

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!  NO SCHOOL JANUARY 14th - In order to give input to the Washington State Legislature as they prepare to make extensive cuts to create a balanced 2003-2004 State Budget, the Seattle Education Association (SEA) has created an opportunity for Seattle School District professionals and families to travel to Olympia on January 14th for a rally in support of maintaining our state’s education funding.  As a result, there will be no school on Wednesday, January 14, and the school year will be extended by one day in June.  For more information see page 3.

 

EVENING LANTERN EVENT REMINDER!  This is a lovely event you will not want to miss, however, it is important that families stay together and oversee their child’s lantern safety. DIVERSITY COMMITTEE will meet right before the Winter Lantern Celebration, 6PM Library.

 

 ANNUAL WINTER LANTERN CELEBRATION - DECEMBER  18th!

CAN YOU HELP SET UP & LIGHT LANTERNS?  MEET IN CAFETERIA @ 9AM.

We need large table clothes, too - bring them if you have them.  Thanks

Come celebrate the season with light and song

As student-made lanterns glow bright -

Come morning (9:30am) or evening (7pm), or BOTH if you can!

Dress warmly if you’re coming at night!

 

CONSERVATION EXPERIMENT!    We are hoping to send the Monday Bulletin via email to as many families as possible to save both copier and paper costs beginning in January.  IF you did not receive a bright yellow form at your scheduled parent/teacher conference, please contact Nancy Gruber 252-1732 to give her your email information ASAP.

 

WEA EDDY AWARDS ESSAY CONTEST FOR 3rd-12th GRADERS.  This annual writing competition is sponsored by the Washington Education Association.  Students are encouraged to enter by writing an essay about a memorable teacher who has had a positive impact in their life.  Winners receive a $150 gift certificate!  To enter, students write a 150-word essay (grades 3-5) or a 500-word essay (grades 6-8) and send it in by Friday, February 14, 2003.  Please see Ginny for contest details, or take a look at the poster near the Parent Information Board in the front hall.

 

MANY STUDENT LUNCH ACCOUNTS HAVE FALLEN BEHIND!  Now is a great time

to check with Toni to make sure your child’s hot lunch/milk account is stocked.  In September the parent group provided $100 for students who needed lunch money ...  and it’s already all gone!  If you would like more information about lunches or the free & reduced cost lunch options, please contact our lunchroom manager, Toni Perez-O’Brien at 252-1734.

PRINCIPAL’S NOTES:   The school choice period for elementary-age children is just around the corner.  As I’m sure you remember, elementary tours start in January and families select their choices in February.  One of the best ways to market our school is simply by word of mouth.  Thanks to all of you who continue to share information about our school with potentially interested new families.

Come celebrate the season with light and song

As student made lanterns are glow bright

Come morning (9:30am) or evening (7pm), or BOTH if you can!

CONSERVATION EXPERIMENT!  I hope you all received a bright yellow ‘Opt-In’ form giving you information about the new Monday Bulletin E-mail system we will be implementing in January.  We are hoping to send the Monday Bulletin via email to as many families as possible to save both copier and paper costs.  IF you did not receive a bright yellow form at your scheduled parent/teacher conference, please contact Nancy Gruber 252-1732 to give her your email information.   Thank you for helping us reduce costs ....  and save trees!

 

DID YOU KNOW THAT MONTHLY F.o.C. BOARD MINUTES ARE POSTED on the Parent Information Board outside the east office?   There is also a monthly Friends of Coho budget report posted. Want board minutes emailed to you? contact Nancy Gruber at ngruber7@aol.com.

 

FALL BOOKFAIR WAS A HUGE SUCCESS! What an incredibly supportive school community we have! Our fall book fair was, bar none, our most successful book fair ever - over $6,500! This means about $900 for our library.   Of course, the book fair success would not be possible without the many hours of time spent by volunteers, especially Maggie Chillingworth, Nancy Gruber, and others too numerous to name here.  My sincere thanks to all of you.  It is such a privilege to work at a school with such a supportive parent community.--Ginny

 

NEW LOCATION FOR TUES/THURS K-2 SPANISH CLASS:  it will meet in room 104.

 

MANY STUDENT LUNCH ACCOUNTS HAVE FALLEN BEHIND!  Because of new FDA rules about lunch service, it is very difficult for Toni to give meals to students whose accounts are in arrears.  Please help make her job easier by keeping your student’s lunch accounts up-to-date.  If you have questions about the status of your student’s account, please leave Toni a message at

252-1734.  Thanks.

 

SEEKING SEVERAL VOLUNTEERS TO ATTEND SCHOOL BOARD and/or Alternative School Alliance month meetings.  The last couple of months have reminded us that we must stay abreast of what’s happening at the District level of our school community.  It would be helpful to have one or two people who would be willing to attend the monthly meetings of these two groups.  Board meetings are always on Wednesdays; The Alliance meetings vary.  Interested?  Contact Nancy Gruber at 252-1732 or ngruber7@aol.com

 

‘FRIENDS OF COHO ‘  EVENTS & NEWS!

 

ENRICHMENT FEE FORM ATTACHED! At the December 3rd Parent Board Meeting a half-yearly report was given showing the  participation statistics to date for this year’s EF program.  This report showed that we still have not received information forms from a whopping 31% of our families.  We need to hear from everyone! This information is necessary for us to create and maintain a realistic budget for field trip, outdoor education, and classroom support spending this school year.  Questions?  Call Nancy Gruber 252-1732 or email ngruber7@aol.com

 

CAN’T REMEMBER IF (or what) YOU PAID FOR ENRICHMENT FEE THIS YEAR?  Call Nancy at 252-1732 or leave a message for Nancy in the office at 252-1720 if my message machine isn’t working (which happens quite a bit!  aaaargh.)

 

LAST WEEK TO ORDER SCRIP GIFT CERTIFICATES FOR THE HOLIDAYS! 

If you wish to purchase scrip certificates as gifts - or to use yourself - over Winter Break,

please be sure your order form is turned in to the office no later than December 13th!! 

Orders received by the 14th will be back in time for you to pick up before the break begins.

 

USED BRICK - FIELD PROJECT FUNDRAISING:  Need some used brick for a home-improvement project? We still have about 600 cleaned used bricks left.  The suggested donation is 50 cents per brick (more or less).  All funds collected go toward our field improvement project.  Call Nancy G. 252-1732 with questions. 

 

EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED A FUND RAISING LETTER FOR THE FIELD PROJECT:

If you are deciding about end-of-year tax deductible donations, please consider this project.  Once completed, this will be an enormous improvement for our school.  For Physical Education, general fitness, and plain old fun it’s hard to beat a nice playfield, track and basketball court!

 

 SEATTLE PUBLIC LIBRARY SYSTEM WILL CLOSE from Dec 17 through 25 including no book drops and no access to online catalog.

DO YOU WANT TO ADD SALMON BAY SCHOOL TO YOUR HOLIDAY GIVING?

If so, we could really use reams or cases of 20 lb. White Copying Paper!

We are RICH in storage room, so we can certainly store & use whatever we receive!

 

DID YOU RECEIVE YOUR K-5 SCHOOL DIRECTORY?

All students were given a K-5 school directory last week.   Students with multiple households were given one copy for each parent/guardian home.   If you did not receive your school directory OR if you have noticed an error in your listing, please contact Nancy Gruber 252-1732.

We will publish corrections in future Monday bulletin editions. 

Many thanks to Shawn and Carita’s classes for the wonderful fishy drawing that adorn the cover.

 

BUDGET NEWS:

SALMON RUN TALLY TO DATE:  $2,040.  Although we fell considerably short of the $7,500 we had hoped to raise  on this event, we DID have lots of fun.  We’ll just have to put a little more effort into our fabulous SPRING AUCTION to keep our budget balanced!  Hmmmm.  I’m going to start thinking right now of some great donation items!!

 

HURRAH!  WE RAISED $4,804.00 IN OUR CASH RAFFLE!!!

Thanks to Cyndy Israel for printing those tickets, to Anne Level for organizing the raffle and a

huge round of applause to all the classroom reps for coordinating classroom sales!
