Last Friday Flyer
Thanks to Michelle who has dutifully published the Friday Flyer all year long! Today she published the final edition of the year, and we’re pretty sure she’s psyched about that. It’s also packed with information about Spirit Week and year end activities. All Friday Flyers are archived here on the website, with links to the individual editions in the “Friday Fliers” section below on the left side (you will probably need to scroll down to see them).
Here’s a link to the latest FF edition: http://madronapantherpartners.org/FridayFliers/FridayFlyer2009-2010.35.pdf

Our Madrona Principals
Please welcome our new Principal Ms. Farah Thaxton to Madrona K-8! Superintendent Maria Goodloe-Johnson announced the appointment in a letter to the community on May 7, 2010. A copy of the letter can be found here.
A parent letter explaining a youth survey was sent home with students, from Principal Kaaren Andrews. You can find a copy of the letter here.

Friday May 7th lunch items are needed-
Friday’s lunch will include pizza, so any side dishes, salads, beverages and deserts would be much appreciated!
We also need some help Friday to help set up, host and clean up from 11:30-1:30.
You can send in food by having your students drop it off in the main office starting at 7am on either day.
Use disposable containers like Ziplocs to make it easy for yourself or have your students retrieve your dish (with your name on it) in the staff lounge at the end of the day. Items needing refrigeration will be put in the refrigerator until they are served.
The annual state-wide testing time is approaching for our 3rd-8th graders. To celebrate the students’ hard work over the year and to support them so they can do their very best, the PTSA and the Deltas put on 2 breakfasts right before testing starts for the students and their families. Thursday, May 13th is the breakfast for 3rd- 5th graders and Friday, May 14th is for 6th – 8th graders. This is one of our biggest events of the year and has become a much anticipated tradition. The students dress up, many families come and we provide a catered, sit down meal for 450 people over 2 days.
The PTSA and Delta’s fund the costs for these breakfasts but we need people to help with set up, serving, and clean up. We need everyone’s help, but since we want people to be able to enjoy the breakfasts with their students we especially need families of Kindergarteners – 2nd graders to help with serving on Thursday morning.
Here’s what we need-
6 people Wednesday 5/12 – for Set up (2:35- done)
10 people Thursday morning (5/13) – help with set up, serving, and/or clean-up (7:30-10)
10 people Friday morning (5/14)- help with set up, serving, and/or clean-up (7:30 – 10)
To volunteer your time or for questions, please email us at ptsa@madronapantherpartners.org, or see Rita Sheckler (228-7853), Demetra Gary or Michelle Manion.
