Family Notes
March 25, 2016
Notes From the Top
Dear Families,
 
Part of being a good citizen is being positively engaged in one's own community, knowing the key issues that impact the daily lives of our families and neighbors. Teaching our students how to engage in good citizenship ranges from being aware of the interdependent nature of our world, to understanding how local and global issues interrelate and affect the lives of the people in their own community as well as around the world, to taking action themselves in order  to create a more equitable world.
 
The personal involvement which good citizenship requires necessitates deep study and keen scrutiny of weighty issues which make up the fiber of our world today.  The topics which our students are exploringare designed to show our young people that they are part of the larger world, inspiring a sense of understanding and confidence in relating and connecting to other people.
 
I am proud of the way in which our teachers and staff are engaging in good citizenship.
 
Have a peaceful and happy week end.

Diana LamWarm regards,
Diana Lam

  • Bravo Lines
    Spring Fling! 2016 is right around the corner, and many of you are in the midst of preparing for it. With this important annual concert comes a beloved tradition: Bravo lines! Each year, we dedicate many pages of the special Spring Fling program book to Bravo lines, which are personalized messages that families write for their children. These messages are loving, encouraging, and inspiring ways of showing our students how much our community supports them. 
     
    Bravo lines are also an important part of Spring Fling fundraising. To include the Bravo lines in the program, we charge $10 per physical line of writing. For example, if you submit a message for your child that takes up two lines of text in the program, it will cost $20. Typically, one line of text is about 13 words. The messages can be as long or short as you'd like; we do not edit them in any way.
     
    If you would like to include a Bravo line for your child, please email Catherine Martin at cmartin@conservatorylab.org 
    by Tuesday, March 29 with your message
     and she will let you know how you can pay for it. Feel free to let Catherine know if you have any questions!
     
Volunteer for the Spring Book Fair!
Dear Conservatory Lab Families,

The Scholastic Book Fair, one of the biggest fundraisers for the school community, is coming up soon, and we need your help! The book fair is a fun way to promote literacy and family involvement is the key!

The Brighton Campus fair will run Monday, April 4, through Friday, April 8, at the 320 Washington Street building. The fair is open all day, and we need volunteers to staff the fair, helping students to choose books and ringing up sales. It's a fun way to volunteer at the school and get to know other members of the school community!
 
Join us for a shift at one of the following times each day the fair is open:

8:00am - 11:00
11:00 a.m. - 2:00pm
2:00pm - 4:30pm
 
If you can only volunteer for part of a shift, that's fine-any help is tremendously appreciated.
 
We also need assistance with:
1. On Friday April 8 at 5:00pm. breaking down the displays and packing everything up for return to Scholastic.
