Dear Valencia Families,

 

Just a few important dates and announcements for you:




Mother's Day is Sunday, May 8th!
 





Attention Parents! We are having a Tomato Plant Sale at the office! They will be available for purchase starting May 2nd for as long as they are available! Half of all money will go back to our current 4th grade class! Each plant is $6. Stop by and pick up some organic tomato starters for your garden! 

Do you wonder why different grade level classes fundraise throughout the year? Grade level fundraising is organized by each class to support their 4th grade Sacramento and 6th grade Science Camp field trips. The 6th grade class also pays for their graduation dance and a school gift. School gifts often take the form of beautiful murals on our campus. For more information please click here,

Monday, May 2nd - 6th is Teacher Appreciation Week. Let’s show our TERRIFIC TEACHERS and SUPER STAFF some love this coming week.

Home and School Club has partnered with Mrs. Lane to develop a list of fun ideas to show teacher and staff appreciation for each day of the Teacher Appreciation Week. 
 

THURSDAY, MAY 5th: MAKE A CLASSROOM SUPPLY BOX or SUPPLY THE TEACHER WITH A GIFT CARD to PURCHASE SUPPLIES - Each student is encouraged to bring in one school supply (pencils, pens, colored pencils, markers, glue sticks, sticky notes, dry-erase markers, etc.).  Home and School Club will help with providing a container.

FRIDAY, MAY 6th: MAKE A “SUPERSTAR TEACHER CARD” - handmade cards are the perfect way to tell your teacher you care. Come to the office and ask Amie or Marilyn if you need art supplies or card ideas.

Thank you for showing our teachers how much we appreciate the work they do each day!
 





NEXT WEEK...Support Valencia on Thursday, May 12th! This includes walk-in, to-go, phone and online orders. Delivery is not included as they use a 3rd party platform. The event will run all day 11-9 PM. You don't have to be local to participate -- anyone, anywhere can help make $$ for our school.

Who feels like BBQ? Be sure to present this flyer or show on your phone that Valencia Elementary sent you! This is a great opportunity to get together before Summer Break!

Part of the proceeds will go to Valencia Home and School ClubYOU DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE IN APTOS -- tell your friends and family!


 

Our Spring Book Fair in the Library is coming, May 16th-20th! This is the last major fundraiser for the Library. Let's show our support. Choose from thousands of books. We can't wait to see you there!   

Each class will have a special time during the week to visit the fair. In addition, the Book Fair will be open to family visits daily before school and after school even during Open House on May 19th.
