Important info from 5th grade committee

Dear 5th Grade Families,

I’m disappointed to share the news that our movie night fundraiser is cancelled due to lack of participation. I can understand with the many events going on, it’s hard to choose which to participate in, but we really tried to make this as fun as possible so we could benefit from the potential $2000 to use toward our 5th grade activities like they had last year. We still have a few more fundraiser lined up, so hopefully we can do better with those.

We have another opportunity next week at Keppel Rocks on November 8th to earn 20% from the entire event if we run the concession stand. So far, only a handful of people have signed up. I am attaching the link again in case you haven’t had the chance to look at it. We divided them into hour time slots to make it more accommodating. Please see if they work for your schedules.

We need everyone's help to make this happen. I encourage everyone to take the time to contribute. We always have the option of giving up the fundraisers and just paying for the events as they come. But please keep in mind, if we don’t have enough funding for ALL the kids and not everyone donates, then we have to cancel or minimize all their events. The goal of the committee is to make this year as festive and memorable as possible, but it truly takes a village!

Please also save the date for the Scholastic Book Fair the week of December 9th-13th. We will need lots of volunteers!

Dear Fifth Grade Parents,

The Fifth Grade Promotion will take place on Friday, June 7, 2019 at 1:00 p.m. in the Hoover High School Auditorium. This is a special occasion for our fifth grade students and their families. To contribute to the success of the event, we ask that you read the following guidelines and discuss them with your child. Thank you for your cooperation. We look forward to seeing you on Friday, June 7th.

Promotion Guidelines:

•Doors open at 12:30 pm. The ceremony will begin promptly at 1:00 pm.

•The program lasts approximately an hour.

•Do not bring balloon bouquets or large bunches of flowers. Students will be returning to class following promotion and these items will not be allowed at school.

In order to be able to hear every child’s name, we ask that there be no whistling, shouting or applause as names are read. We will cheer the entire group of students once all names have been read.


•Parents must remain seated during the ceremony. 5th grade Committee has hired a photographer to photograph each student on stage and pictures will be available to download for free.


•Parents who wish to videotape the promotion must do it from the BALCONY AREA ONLY.


Appropriate promotion attire includes:

IMPORTANT 5th grade end-of-year info

Dear 5th grade parent:

The 5th grade committee has been working very hard all year fundraising and planning all of the great upcoming activities.  We hope everyone enjoyed the 5th grade t-shirts and we know that the campers had a great experience at Pali Institute. Through our fundraising efforts the Committee is very excited to provide 5th graders with all of the following activities at no charge.  

Important 5th grade events:

• June 5th - Colonial Day at Riley’s Farm
• A full day educational field trip sponsored by the committee. Parents are welcome to attend, but they need to provide their own transportation and pay the entrance fee.  A light lunch is provided.

• June 7th - Promotion! 1pm at Hoover Auditorium
• There will be a professional photographer taking 2-3 pictures of each child as they cross the stage.  A link will be provided after the ceremony for you to download the pictures free of charge.

• June 10th - Play Day
• There will be a large obstacle course, a large inflatable twister game, a photo booth, Habit Food truck and Kona Ice truck, as well as other treats, games, and crafts.  It will be a blast and we need lots of parent volunteers!

• June 11th - Last day of school.  On to middle school!

• Tiles with Mrs. Zierhut - a final art project for the kids to leave something personal at Keppel!  Volunteers are needed to assist with making the tiles and also hanging them up at the school.

• Teacher, staff and class gifts - we are happy to be able to give gifts to all the 5th grade teachers, the entire Keppel administrative and custodial staff, as well as a class gift for our graduates to be remembered.  

To make all of these events as successful and fun as possible, WE NEED YOUR HELP.  We need you to volunteer your time - please go the link below and sign up. We cannot do these activities without parent support!

It has been a great year!  Thank you to all those that have volunteered their time and resources.

Best,

Carla Nardoni & Anahit Dovlatian
