A Note from Our RoomMom

Hi Second Grade Parents,
  On February 11th the school will be having a benefit concert to raise money for Haiti, on the same day we are hosting the Burrito Hot Lunch.  The school is encouraging parents who attend the concert to buy a burrito with their child.  We are hoping Mr. Zubia will be in need of some extra help in the kitchen on the 11th, and are looking for a few extra hands to assist him (great opportunity for parent participation hours).  We are looking for 1 Volunteer – 10:00-11:00, 2 Volunteers – 10:30-12:00, and 1 Volunteer – 12:00-1:30.  Please give me a call as soon as possible so I can get you scheduled, my cell is 371-5802.
  Also, February 11th is our class Valentine’s Day party.  We had a meeting on the 20th, and some great ideas came out of it.  I’m scheduling a follow up meeting for Tomorrow night, February 2nd at 6:30 pm, at Starbucks.  Hope to see you there!
Thanks,
Delores
