Need 6th grade parent volunteers for 6th Grade Summer Olympics

Jamie Caron, one of our 6th grade teachers, writes:

The 6th Grade Summer Olympics, an ADL tradition, will take place Friday, June 14th from 9:30 to 12:00 (I know ... pretty late notice). We always need a few extra people to run an event and it would be great if we can get some parent volunteers. We only need a few. Let me know if you are interested (jcaron@ccsuvt.org).

FOLLOW-UP BUSINESS:

Ø      Staff Appreciation Week was a HUGE blast again this year. Thank you to Elizabeth Logan and Kim Kinsley for organizing this special week for the ADL staff and also to all the parents and guardians who volunteered their time/talent/cooking skills to make the week a success! Mrs. Singer the staff felt very appreciated.

Ø      Final dance/NECAPs/Incoming 6^th grade Parent Night/Spring Concert/8^th Grade Spaghetti Dinner

Ø      Ticket sales for the Lake Monsters game on August 10^th finished up today. As of May 31^st, we had only sold about 10-15 tickets. This was our first time trying this kind of thing. If we do this in the future, we would need to brainstorm a better way to promote the sales.

Ø      The Promotion Night Committee continues to work hard on the finishing touches for that evening! Thank you again to Patty LaRose-Kent for leading this group. We also have 8 6^th and 7^th grade parents signed up to handle the refreshments and punch for that evening.

Ø      Paul McLaughlin will be working with me next year as my co-facilitator! I am so pleased and feel this will be smooth transition for all of us!

I want to thank all the parents and guardians who helped me bring together all the activities here at ADL that Parents as Partners facilitates, this school year. I can’t do this job without each one of you and also a big thank you to both Laurie Singer and Barb Edwards for helping me out with all my questions and logistical concerns. I definitely need your help year round! Thank you to all!  - Kelley Charland
