Hi, parents.
Relay for Life is this Friday. The plant sale last month was a great success (nearly $1000 raised!) and we encourage you to continue to sent in loose change for the coin jars in each classroom. Our actual walk will be Friday afternoon from 1 to 2:15. You are welcome to join us.
We didn't do t-shirts this year, but to present a unified, team feel, we are encouraging each child to wear blue that day. I also carved a stamp of an element from the logo Mrs. Maclay designed for us. It is 1 3/4" by 4 1/4", with "HOPE" in large block letters, using a peace sign for the "O". A thick underline has the phrase "GBLUES Relay for Life" engraved in smaller letters. If you or your child would like to use this stamp to decorate your own t-shirt, scarf, card, or other item, you may. Stop by GBLUESPTO.blogspot.com to see an image of the stamp (oh, and look to see what PTO positions are still available! We had a really fun, sweet-filled PTO meeting last night, but the volunteering was a bit sparse, so there is still LOTSLOTSLOTS of room for you! Still need a coordinator!!).
We will be having a mini-workshop Thursday afternoon in the courtyard, right after school, for those who would like to make a logo-stamped item. I will provide strips of fabric that the children may stamp to tie around their arms or hair, or you may bring your own item. All stamps will be in dark blue ink, and this will be the only opportunity; we will not be doing the stamping during school hours.
Thanks for your support. Last year you walked for my baby, Reuben, and that meant a lot to our family. I'm happy to report that our boy is 2 years past his diagnosis and doing really great. We have been able to celebrate two birthdays since (the nation-wide Relay for Life theme this year is "birthdays"), and with great joy.
Best,
Valerie
