April Vacation Week
April 18 - 22 


BEAR Night - April 29 

A form to sign up for BEAR Night 
was sent home twice this week. 
Because it is right around the 
corner, we need those forms back 
as soon as possible. Please 
remember that if your child is 
coming to BEAR Night, you need 
to contribute in some way. We 
especially need parents who 
can spend the night and/or 
help with small groups until 

9:00 or 10:00 PM. 
School Improvement Team 

The School Improvement Team 
met on Monday night to discuss 
draft school goals for the 2011-12 
school year. The discussion around 
goals are very important as we 
look to the future. In the next year 
we will make significant changes in 
our staff, our classroom 
configurations, and in the way we 
teach and run our school. We want 
you to be a part of that discussion. 
School Improvement Team 
meetings are scheduled for the first 
Monday of each month from 
5:30-7:00 p.m. and anyone can 
attend. Our school must 
improve and we will with your 
help. 

Here’s a Way to Help 

We are looking for a parent to take 
part in the hiring and interview 
committee for the new 
kindergarten teacher. We will 
probably interview shortly after 
April break. If you’re interested in 
helping out with the process of 
interviewing candidates, please call 
359-5002.

Winnie the Worm Farmer 

Yesterday, Carol Brendler, the 
author of Winnie the Worm 
Farmer was here to show students 
a worm farm that traveled all the 
way from my hometown of 
Chicago, Illinois. Students heard 
her presentation then worked on a 
variety of activities related to 
vermiculture. Thank you Mrs. 
Bixby for making this ‘Author’s 
Afternoon’ possible. 

Farm&Little League Practice 

The first practice for Farm 
League/Little League is Saturday, 
April 9 at 9:00 a.m. in the 
Brooklin School gym. Children 
ages 7-12 can participate. This is 
also the last date to register 
your child. If he/she is unable to 
make this practice and/or for 
additional information, you must 
call David Reiley at 359-8578. 

GSA International Night 

GSA is hosting a FREE 
‘International Night’ on Saturday, 
April 9 from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. in 
their cafeteria. There will be 
samples of food from various 
countries, students talking about 
their homes in other lands, and 
entertainment including Sam’s 
Soul Children and the Steel Band. 
It promises to be quite the night! 
Donations will be collected for 
Disaster Relief in Japan. 

Stories 

In the next few weeks at assembly, 
we will be reading a well known 
story that illustrates a particular 
point about a character. This 
week’s story is the Shoemaker and 
the Elves. Next week will be Paul
