FUN RUN DONATION INFORMATION

 

2011 Fun Run Family and

Corporate Sponsor Donation Form

 

This year's Fun Run will take place on Friday, May 20th, 2011.

 

The Edgewood Campus Parent Association (ECPA) is selling "Fun Run" T-Shirts as an added Fundraiser. The cost of each T-Shirt is $12, and the profit made from the T-Shirt sales will be used to purchase educational materials for the classrooms and to support the Teacher Appreciation efforts of the ECPA.

 

The steps to participating in the Fun Run Sponsorship are as follows:

 

1. The winning design (created by an Edgewood student and chosen by a Parent Association committee) will be on the front of the T-shirt.

2. The names of the Fun Run Sponsors (your company/family name) will be listed on the back of the T-shirt. Donation Form is attached.

 

Once the winning design is chosen by the end of March, the Fun Run T-shirts will be produced and go on sale soon after. This year's Fun Run monies will be made by:

 

1. Purchasing the Fun Run T-Shirt(s).

2. Donating money through the Family and Corporate Sponsor Donation.*

3. Pledging per lap ran by student.*

  

Thank you in advance for your support,
ECPA Board Members

iPhones, iPads, Blackberries, Droids...I'm Lost
Today, cell phones do so much more than make phone calls and send text messages, but how do we know which of the thousands of apps are actually worth downloading? And once they're downloaded, how do we use them? Join Bob Cohen, Smartphone expert and esteemed technology coach, for an interactive workshop to learn how to make the most of these new technologies.

Breakfast With Kaylin

 

Miss Kaylin Ong is chock-full of good character! She and Mrs. Kaneski Diana and Kaylinenjoyed breakfast together on Friday, March 25, 2011. For Kaylin, a sugar donut and orange juice, and for Mrs. Kaneski (and a fine excuse to break her diet plan) enjoyed ½ a glazed donut and coffee. YUM!!  Kaylin shared that she loves playing soccer, is working toward straight A+'s, can't think of anything she would change about 2nd grade, and that her BFF is Ashley.  Thank you Kaylin for starting my Friday off so nicely! 

Wardrobe Reminders

 

Fairmont Private Schools enforces a wardrobe and appearance code. School is an important place, and we expect students to dress as if they take school seriously. Fairmont students are required to wear True Grits school uniforms which are clean, pressed and in good condition. The Edgewood Campus wardrobe and appearance guidelines and a list of commonly asked questions and violations are found at: http://www.fairmontschools.com/edgewood_forms.html 
Students who do not follow dress code guidelines will receive a detention.  

We thank you for your support.

Pierre Agamata, Student ServicesPierre Agamata

 

My name is Pierre A. Agamata, and I have been working at Edgewood for a year and a half. I work for the student services department and as an extended day teacher. I attended the University of California, Santa Barbara and received my BA in Sociology. Currently, I am working on my MA in Psychology: Mediation and Conflict Resolution with the University of the Rockies. I have 20 years of experience working with children. I was a Child Care Director, Counselor for abused children, Preschool teacher, and an Activities Director.  My hobbies are tennis, swimming, basketball, reading, writing, and sleeping. What I enjoy the most is working and interacting with  children. I hope I instill in their young lives the good character traits of responsibility, respect, trustworthiness, caring, citizenship, and fairness. They provide me the wonderful insight of what it is to be a child at any age.
