Zaj's Weekly News

It was wonderful to see so many of you at Fall Parent/Teacher conferences. Thank you for coming out. During conferences, our PTO provided dinner for our staff and bagels and coffee for breakfast. PTO and parents, thank you for your generosity and for supporting our staff.

This year, we are happy that we have the same grant that allows us to take family field trips together. The goal of our family field trips is to have parents and students engage in learning together in a variety of experiences. Our PTO is leading the work on planning and organizing the family field trips. Our first family field trip is on Saturday, November 16th to Concord Bowling Trip. Do you know how much MATH you can do when you go bowling? :) The form came out earlier this week. We are limited in how many people can go so it will be based on a first come, first served. Please make sure you can commit to going when signing up. In the later field trips, we will try to get new families to go. If you have questions, please call Thao or Neftali.

Every other Thursday, our students in grades 1-4 have the opportunity to check out additional library books from the St. Paul Public LIbrary mobile library called "Mobi". Mobi is parked outside the school and each class gets a chance to enter Mobi and find a new book. Our students LOVE getting new books each time!
