Last Day of SCHOOL!
Principal's Message

My thoughts on Crocker Highlands this week are of what a special community this is. You have a hand in shaping a bright future for all of our children. You have such great involvement in what our children are doing in school. When things are needed for the students, you use your talents to make sure that get what is needed. With this being the final week of full days at school, would you work with all of the fourth and fifth graders to ensure they can complete the Sixty Second Sweep? This strengthens their multiplication facts which will make them have a solid confidence in mathematics for the future. Also, please continue to make sure your children are reading throughout the summer.

For all of the sacrifice you do, you will one day be rewarded by the love and the success of your children.

Until Next Week,

Chelda

Thanks - Lisa Thorne and Nicole Radlow
Get Ready for the Last Week of School!

Make sure you plan for the last week of school -- ALL days will be minimum days next week.  School will end at 1:35 pm Monday through Thursday, the last day of school. 

There will be an awards assembly for students on Wednesday, June 11 at 9 am.  Parents are welcome to attend.

Report cards will be sent home with students on the last day of school. 
Last PTA Executive Board Meeting this Thursday

The last PTA Executive Board meeting of the year will be on June 5th at Elizabeth Moyle's house (701 Rosemount Road) from 7 - 8:30.  Click here for the agenda.  This is not only a business meeting but a celebration of the year's end, so it is potluck. Anyone may come, just come with food to share.

EcoMetro Guides On Sale the First Week of School

The Crocker Green Committee will be selling Eco Metro Guides during the first couple weeks of school in the fall.  Please wait to buy them from us!  Last year, this fundraiser earned $1,560 for Crocker and the coupons helped us all live in a more sustainable way.  I bought two guides. For my $40 investment, I've saved hundreds of dollars on things I would have purchased anyway:  groceries, classes, entertainment.  And I'm not done yet!  These coupons are good through November, 2008.  The guides we sell in the fall will have coupons good through November, 2009.

Recycle Your Cell Phones and Ink Cartridges

Crocker's Student Council is collecting old cell phones and used printer ink cartridges.  If you have these items at home, don't throw them away!  Send old cell phones and ink cartridges to school with your student and the Crocker Student Council will make sure they get recycled safely.

For information about recycling and recycling locations, go to: www.stopwaste.org or www.earth911.org.
