Please join us for our very last Skate King event EVER on Thursday May 28th from 6:00-8:00pm. Skate King will be closing its doors for business on June 30th. To commemorate this news, The PTA Board has decided to combine this event with our Special Membership Budget meeting. Please join us inside Skate King for the meeting portion which will begin at 7:15pm in the lobby (no charge for non-skaters). The budget will be voted on and approved at this meeting. Only PTA members in good standing will be allowed to vote. 

• Cost is $6/skater (in-lines $4 extra, non-skaters no charge)
• $1 off if you bring your own skates. 
• No outside food or drink, cash or check only, NO CREDIT CARDS. 
• *This is not a drop-off event!

Skate King is located at 2301 140th Ave NE, Bellevue. 

Please welcome Maria de Lourdes Victoria. Maria is a Mexican-born, multiple award-winning author whose work has been published internationally in English and Spanish. She will be working with the K, 1st and 2nd graders for three sessions that will focus on writing! We hope it will be very hands-on and inspiring for the children and the teachers. Her three workshops will be divided into story-telling and elements, personal narrative, and poetry.

Thank you to the PTA for funding this enriching experience for our young ones. This is SITA's (Spanish Immersion Through the Arts) last and biggest production of the year.

Maria's books be found in bookstores and on Amazon. To learn more, please visit her website.

Overdue Library Books

Notices via email will be going out this week reminding families that their books are overdue.  As we near the end of school it is crucial to find and return overdue books, or pay for lost books.  Payments can be made on-line at the Bellevue School District website - look for Touchbase to pay for a lost book, or by cash or check made out to Puesta del Sol.  Last day of check out will be May 29th, but students will still have regular library time until the end of the school year. 

• Check out this year's list of PTA Summer camps at Puesta del Sol Elementary. 
• Community Spanish summer camps are available. And check out other community summer camps programs.
• Check out the other great community events on the PTA website.
