Dear AmPark Family, It was so wonderful to see so many of you for our Parent Teacher Conferences last night, as well as for the science fair encore display this morning! We are so proud of the hard work of our AmPark scientists and grateful to your for supporting them. We had such fun celebrating all of our students who were truly all winners for their creativity and dedication to their projects. Our overall project winners, Nyquist & Hannah, with their project, "2 Minute Dark", will be representing AmPark at the District 10 Science Fair at Intech Academy next Saturday, May 18th. All families are welcome to go and see the fair, which begins at 9am. Last night, we mentioned so many exciting upcoming events during our Conferences, that I want to be sure to highlight them here and get them on your calendars: June 5th - The AmPark Spring Concert featuring ALL AmPark students will be held in the 95 yard, picnic style, from 4:30-6:00pm! Each and every one of you and your families are invited to share in an evening of song with Josh and our amazing AmPark Owl singers and musicians. May 14th-16th - Kachumber WITS Labs with Chef Victoria for all of our Owl chefs! Please see the recipe cards below if you're interested in trying it out at home! May 15th-17th - The AmPark Scholastic Book Fair is on! Teachers will send out schedules via Bloomz next week and be on the lookout for e wallet information soon. May 24th - The AmPark Basketball Playoffs featuring all of our AmPark athletes who participated in the basketball program. Times and more details will be sent along next week! Today was Lunch with Elvira featuring a presentation on the Science of Reading by Ms. Casey. Did you miss it? Please check out Ms. Casey's informational slides here. Feel free to follow up with Ms. Elvira should you have more questions or want more resources on this important subject. Sunday is Mother's Day and that is a most significant holiday in the hearts of all of us at AmPark. Whether you are a mother, or a mother figure, or someone who is celebrating and reflecting on the love of the mothers in your life, we wish you a most beautiful Mother's Day. To our AmPark Moms... you are your child's first and most important teacher. Our Owls are the lights in the world that they are, because you give them all that they need to shine. Thank you for the joy you imbue in them and the love that they radiate. May you have that love reflected back to you this weekend, a thousand fold. One last thing... you know what would make an amazing last minute Mother's Day present? Delicious and fancy gourmet popcorn from Double Good! : ) Please see the details for AmPark's Fundraiser below. (Jokes aside, this popcorn is truly that delicious and the proceeds are going to fund all things AmPark Neighborhood School!)
