From the auction team

Hi Kindergarten parents! 

This year's auction team would like to encourage you to attend the biggest fundraising event of the year "We Are Portlandia", Friday Nov 15th at Crystal ballroom. . 

For those of you who are new to Chapman, the annual auction not only raises money to support our children's education, but it is also a great opportunity to meet other parents and teachers in a fun, social setting.  And getting some holiday shopping done (seriously great things to buy and great prices).

Here is a link to the auction website to purchase tickets, donate items and browse the catalog. Your attendance is a benefit to the fundraiser on its own!

The doors open at 6:00. The evening will start off with the silent auction where you will find various items of great value. Then the live auction will follow. There will be dinner, entertainment and a wine bar with tasty selection by a Chapman parent. Your children's classroom art projects will be auctioned off during the live auction. If you like, come dressed Portlandia style, whatever your interpretation of it is. 

Chapman has a fantastic community of parents, teachers and neighbors. Please join us and be a part of it. 

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact Mai Teherani-Ami (maickn@hotmail.com) or Antoinette D'Ambrosio (antangela@comcast.net)

Hope to see you there!

Your 2013 Auction team

Field Trip News

Here are some helpful reminders about Thursday's field trip to Kruger's Farm.

1. Please be sure your child is dressed appropriately for the morning weather. Please also help your child choose comfy shoes that are ok to get dirty when walking in a field.

2. If you are sending a lunch from home, please be sure it is in a paper bag and entirely disposable so we don’t have to keep track of lunchboxes, containers, lids, spoons, etc.

3. Volunteers -- be here at 9:15.  There is some room on the bus.  We may need some parents to carpool.  If you signed up to volunteer, but cannot make it, please be sure to let me know as early as possible.  

4. We will still go to the library in the afternoon. Please help your child remember his library book amid the excitement of the field trip.

Book fair this week

Our Book Fair is in the basement, down the staircase nearest Room 2!
