Parkin' It!

Hi, All.

Today's Strawberry Festival was a big hit! Strawberry Sortcakes, Strawberry Cakes, Strawberry Pies, all kinds of Strawberries + something else Smoothies, Chocolate Covered Strawberries...and lots and lots and lots of whipped cream!!!

Can anyone say sugar high?!

Tomorrow, Thursday, May 21, the students and I, along with Jenelle Bush (a.k.a. our Gecko Mom/Ryan’s mom) will be walking (no driving required!) to Hollis Park, just South of TPA between Dorsey/Kenneth Pl at Malibu. We will be leaving TPA at 11:30 AM and returning by 2:45 PM. If there is another parent out there that would like to tag along with us – that would be great (drop me an email: npitman@tempeprep.org)!

Our plan is to have a picnic lunch at the park, followed by Medieval games/activities, a water balloon fight (as per student request), and celebrate our last afternoon together prior to finals. We will be picking up sandwiches from Subway, and complimenting them with chips, cookies and Capri Suns. Thank you all for getting your trip slip forms in as well as money for lunch!

Students must come to school that day dressed in TPA required dress code, but do have permission to change into shorts, T-shirts and athletic shoes for our outing (please: closed-toed shoes only. No sandals). Please send a towel to sit on as well as to use to dry off (from our water fight). If you believe that your student requires sunscreen, please send that along as well as an extra water bottle if your student does not keep one at school.

HOMEWORK: STUDY!; Go over Papastrata lines; BRING IN COSTUME (sheet and sandals, if you haven't brought them already).
