Hi Everyone!
This is a special invitation to join Asha this Friday for her 5th birthday party in our  classroom from 4-6 pm. I hope you can arrange to have your child  stay for the celebration. Asha misses her friends very much and it is a  special treat for her to be able to have her party here at her old  school.

We will also have paints  and pots out for you to help paint flower pots for prizes for Ray  Festival!

EMERGENCY LSC MEETING AND PUBLIC FORUM:
Also, I wanted to let you know there will be a special emergency LSC  meeting on Tuesday morning at 7:45 AM (early morning!) to discuss the  CPS budget. There is also going to be a Public Forum on Wednesday  evening at 6:30 in the Staff Lounge. These meetings are urgent because  one of  the proposed cuts will affect our preschool and kindergarten programs   PLEASE BE THERE!

CAN YOU HELP US WITH OUR GARDENING PROJECT?:
We are teaming up with the rest of the school to do a major  gardening project that will include a special area for our youngest  students. If you can help, please come to a volunteer meeting on March  25th at 3:45 in Room 309.  We'll be setting gardening days, seeking ways  in increase community involvement, organize the tilling and cleaning of  our current gardens, determining committees and getting fundraising ideas.  If you can't make it but would like to be a part of this project,  please let me know.

REMINDER:   THERE IS NO SCHOOL NEXT WEEK! WE ARE CLOSED FOR SPRING BREAK!!!!

See  you all soon!
