Room Parents and Yearbook Classroom Coordinators Upload Yearbook Photos Now!
| |
|
If you are a room parent or classroom yearbook coordinator, please upload yearbook photos NOW! We are getting extremely close to our deadline and many classes do not have any photos uploaded, or enough variety. Be sure that your class has a nice sampling of at least 25-35 quality photos for yearbook consideration. Remember we are looking for group shots that showcase students, their smiling faces and fun times in class. Thank you for your attention to this! If you have questions, please contact yearbook@puestadelsolpta.org.

Visiting Author, Kazu Kibuishi - Thanks to a generous grant from Bellevue Schools Foundation, all Bellevue schools will be hosting local author Kazu Kibuishi. He will be presenting to 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students in our school library throughout the day on Tuesday, March 29th. Kazu is well-known by all our students who love his popular graphic novels. Students will have the opportunity to purchase his latest graphic novel at our annual Spanish Book Fair during the week of March 21st. We have scheduled a "signing time" during his visit and all 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students will receive a bookmark with his picture and signature.
All School Community Service Project - I am in the process of reading the book Mogie; The Heart of the House to all grades during their library time. It is a wonderful story about a wild little dog named Mogie, who becomes a friend, companion and great entertainment for children and their families who stay at the Ronald McDonald House in Houston, Texas while their child is undergoing treatments at the Houston Children's Hospital. At the end of the book there is information about the Ronald McDonald House and a suggestion for an easy service project that helps fund a variety of projects. Students and their families and workplaces are encouraged to collect the metal pull tabs from pop cans, dog and cat food, etc., and bring them to the library, where we have a glass jar on the checkout counter that is slowly filling up with the metal tabs. Thanks for supporting this student community service project which will be on-going throughout the year.
