Moving in Details and Save the Date!

We are getting SUPER EXCITED!  The EM Staff have one week before we can start moving in some of our classroom and school items into the new buildings!  The new furniture starts to arrive this coming week as well!

It's hard to believe we are almost to the GOAL LINE!  Two weeks until Winter Break, with Friday, Dec. 13 as our last school day.  During the week of Dec. 16-20, the larger contents of the classrooms will be moved into the new school and the portable buildings will be removed from the property.  There is a lot to do!  January 6th is our exciting, first day in the new school!

Sunday, January 12th, from 2-4 we will be hosting an Edna Maguire Open House so that the new school can be toured!

And to think...... It feels like we just broke ground! 

We've come a long way !  

  Stay tuned for the invite!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving Holiday!

Kiddo Donation Challenge - We are almost there!!!

Dear Parents,

Kiddo! recently announced an exciting challenge as the Kiddo! 2013 Annual Campaign comes to a close. If the family participation rate across the district reaches 75% by the end of the Campaign on December 31st, not only will every student in the district be able to continue to benefit from our fabulous Kiddo!-funded programs and teachers, but every student in the district will also receive a free 8 oz. frozen yogurt from Swirl!

As of this weekend, slightly more than 52% of district families have donated to Kiddo! since the 2013 Campaign kick-off in May. If you haven't already donated this year, I encourage you to do so and help earn all our kids a tasty reward!  Donations of any size count!

Edna Maguire would not be the same without Kiddo!  Your donation to the 2013 Annual Campaign pays for the following at Edna this school year:

·       The salaries of our two art teachers, Katie and Jackie, and all of our art materials

·       The salaries of our three music teachers, Nora (K-2), Darren (3-4) and Anna (5), and all music supplies

·       The salaries of our two chorus teachers, Nora (3-4) and Jessica (5)

·       The salaries of our orchestra and band directors, Phoebe and Cayce

·       The salaries of our two P.E. teachers, Schuyler and Elaine

·       The salaries of our library aide, Anne, and our seven classroom aides

·       Our dance instructor, Alan, and our poetry specialists

·       Our 2^nd Grade Performing Arts program, our 4^th Grade Walk Through California program, and our 5^th Grade Performing Arts Program

·       Technology support and innovative teaching grants at our school

Let’s increase our Kiddo! participation this year!  My goal is to have 100% of all Edna Maguire families donate to Kiddo! in 2013. We currently need 227 more families to donate in any amount to reach that goal.  Signs counting down the families needed to hit our target are up at the upper school entrance (by Room 25) and by the main entrance (on the admin building wall) through the end of December. Please donate and be counted today!

On Thursday, December 5, our Kiddo! School Representative, Ahtossa Fullerton, and other volunteers, will be at school for Kiddo! Participation Day. Stop by to ask questions about Kiddo!, or to make a donation.

Thank you for your consistent and generous support of our schools!
