All classes are hearing books that have to do with the environment this week in recognition of Earth Day, which is Friday, April 22. Grade 5 will also be painting leaves this week for the library’s tree decoration, so come by and see our tree “leaf out.” There are many neat activities going on all week at Pennekamp, including a campus cleanup Friday after school. Also, for adults and older students, there is a showing of the movie Cowspiracy on Tuesday evening, 7:00, at the MCHS Small Theater. As a longtime vegetarian, I sincerely hope a lot of people turn out to learn more about the impact on the environment of meat production. The movie trailer can be viewed below.
Thursday, April 21, is the 20th Richstone Feast. I will be attending the 6:45 seating, and there is also a 5:15 seating. I am so pleased our school continues to support the Richstone Family Center, which assists families dealing with violence in the home or community. I’ll say “bravo” all ready to the 5th-graders and Mr. Warner, who put on this event. Please attend. Mr. Warner can set you up with tickets, $10 for adults and $5 for children, for dinner and the raffle—and the satisfaction of knowing you’ve aided a very worthy cause.
Friday, April 29, grades 2, 3, 4, and 5 will attend an assembly featuring Annabeth Bondor-Stone and Connor White, authors of The Pirate Who’s Afraid of Everything (Shivers!) and The Pirate Who’s Back in Bunny Slippers (Shivers!). It’s hard to convey how entertaining these two authors are! In fact, you really should see for yourself—check out the video below. Annabeth and Connor will be signing books, and your student will definitely want at least one of their books, so please order ahead of time from {pages} or feel free to buy a copy from your favorite bookseller and have your child bring it to school on Friday, April 29. Signing will take place in the library between 12:15 and 12:45 that day.
