Family Messenger, May 1, 2013

This week we celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week. This is the perfect time for students and parents to show appreciation to our teachers for the work they do each day. Incarnation is lucky to have such a dedicated faculty and staff. 

This is also my opportunity to thank the teachers and staff at Incarnation for their commitment to our students and to Catholic education. They often go unrecognized for the countless hours they put in to their work both in and out of the classroom, and before and after school hours. Thank you, teachers, for all that you do!

Rainy Day carpool starts this Wednesday May 1st
As stated in the beginning of the year, the students will be in their classroom waiting for you to pick them up at 2:45pm.  It is way too hot for the children and the teachers to stand outside on the blacktop so, for the rest of the year the pick up will be: parking safely in the parking lot, and walking to your child’s classroom. Please wait for the bell before pick up from classrooms and as you are walking your child/children back to the car, please be careful of the cars moving in and out of parking spaces. Please don’t be on the phone, please watch your children very carefully.  Thank you for your understanding and patience during this time.


ADOPT-A-BLOCK/Clean-Up Day:  Service Hour Opportunity for Students and Parents on May 9, 2013, after school, for 1 hour.
Let’s help the environment, our city and our school!  We are excited to announce that next Thursday, May, 9, 2013, right after school, Incarnation School will commence our regular participation in our city’s Adopt-A-Block program.  Calling all volunteer students and parents – we need your help in cleaning the surrounding areas of our school!  We will pick up litter and clean the front and side areas around our school.  This is a great opportunity for students and parents to earn service and community hours.  The City of Glendale will provide all the cleaning supplies.  Regular participation in the city’s Adopt-A-Block program will mean Incarnation School can have its name printed on a special sign that will be placed in our adopted area.  We will try to do this once a month during the school year.  We will all meet at the front of the school at 2:45 p.m. on May 9, 2013 and clean up for 1 hour.  Thanks to our Student Council representative, Francesca L, for organizing our participation in this worthwhile cause.  Interested students and parents can contact Francesca Legaspi or any Student Council member for further details.
