Calling all writers….by the way, that’s all of you! PSI is making its 4th edition published book of K-5 student writing called La revista. We need your best writing to make this happen. Between now and Feb 24th we are asking students to submit 1 or 2 writing pieces (1 Spanish and 1 English) to be considered for La revista.
We encourage all K-5 students at PSI to participate. It’s your chance to be a PUBLISHED writer. Please see the information sheet with all the details, but don’t delay. All submissions need to be done electronically through Google Docs. Then share your document through Google to: larevista17@gmail.com . If your writing piece is in Spanish, please share it on Google with your classroom teacher too. We hope to see lots of great writing from you this year!
The easiest way is to order online here. Quick, easy instructions can be found here.
Prefer to write a check? Send a check for $15 to school with your child’s name and grade in the memo line. Please put the check in an envelope and mark it “Yearbook”. You may turn it in at the office or ask your child to turn it into their classroom teacher. (Avoid all this by ordering online above!)
All orders must be submitted by March 17th to reserve a copy. No additional books will be ordered so secure your copy today!
Hello Amity Supporters / Mini van Drivers :)
We have several Amity Interns that are taking English classes on Tuesday nights from 6-9. We need your help providing rides to and from those classes. This is a quick and easy way to support the Amity program!
Amities need to be picked up at 5:45 p.m. at PSI and taken to Eisenhower Elementary School (1001 Highway 7, Hopkins).
Amities need to be picked up at 9:00 p.m. and driven to their various homes. A link to all addresses can be found here.
If you can help, please sign up here (first opportunity is this Tuesday).
Total number of Amities will be no more than 5 (Ignacio, Sergio, Noelia, Michael, Yaneth).
Additional classes may be added and SUG will be updated to reflect that.
Thank you for your help and support!
Your Amity Coordinator Team,
Molly Carpenter
