Updates (Open House, etc.)

Next Thursday is Open House! Class will be dismissed at 1:30PM that day. Families are welcome to join in at the International Feast at 5:30PM. Cost of admission is one dish to feed about fifteen people. Immediately following the feast is a brief PTA meeting and then at 7:00PM, guests are invited to tour the classrooms. Come and see our students' hard work! Since we only have one hour to talk with all of our visitors, it is requested that parents schedule a separate meeting if they wish to discuss their student's progress.

The following Friday will be Grandparents/VSP (Very Special Persons) Day. Tickets for the breakfast are $3 for adults and are available now. Visit the office for more details.

If you haven't yet purchased your yearbooks, they are still available for $10 until May 25. After that, they will be $15. Pick up a form at the office today.

The Lost and Found is overflowing with unclaimed jackets and sweatshirts! There are also 6 pairs of glasses in the Health Office which need to be returned to their owners. Please take a moment to check and see if any of these items might be yours.

Finally, in case you haven't heard, Washington School receives credit from Office Depot every time you shop there. You must tell them the School ID number, which is: 70014204. These credits are used to purchase school supplies and other necessary items to help students be successful at school.

Testimonials

"This is so lovely for you to take the time to write this blog. Thank you very much for all of the extra time you are putting in. "
"Thanks for posting photos of the class on your blog! It's really fun to scroll through and find photos of [my son] having fun cooking and tasting all sorts of yummy dishes. We don't usually get a chance to meet the summer school teachers so this is an awesome way for you to share what goes on in class. [He] is enjoying himself. I love the concept for the class and think it's a great way to read, cook, and share."
"Thanks so much Miss Cong, we will follow along with your blog and we hope you're doing these courses next year, [my daughter] will be one of the first to sign up!"
"I just wanted to thank you SO much for making Book Cooks such a fun class for my twins. They loved being able to cook real food for themselves, and our whole family loved being able to follow along with your blog and photos. Thanks for taking the time to make this an experience we could all share."
"I just wanted to drop a line and say thank you so much for a wonderful summer!!! Both [daughters] had the BEST time in your Hogwarts class. They came home every day so excited to talk about what they'd done - and it was all so creative! So I know you must have put a great deal of time, thought and energy into planning it."
"My daughter [name omitted] was in two of your classes this summer, and I just wanted to drop you a line to tell you how much I appreciate the experiences you provided for her each day. She came home excited about each new thing that you did with the kids, whether making hoecakes or butterbeer! And she is generally hard to impress...jaded for her age due to two (also jaded) teenage siblings. So I know that she really had a wonderful time in your classes. I also wanted to tell you how impressed I was with the amount of work -- in terms of preparation and gathering materials -- that you put into each class. And the attention to detail...wow! Thank you for going above and beyond to give the kids a fabulous and truly unforgettable summer experience!"
"I've been wanting to tell you how much my boys love your classes! It's the first thing they talk about when they see me each afternoon. Very cool."
"What a class you must be teaching - [names omitted] both came home so excited and talked about their Hogwarts class for half an hour! Thank you for all of your hard work and creativity."
"I spoke with a mom yesterday who unsolicited offered up terrific and unsolicited praise of you and your classes."
"Just a quick note to let you know how popular your classes are! We have already filled your third period Hogwarts class (in fact, yours was among the first class to fill during last week’s live registration!)"
