LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL! and my last blog for this school year...

Well guys this is the last weekend....Monday the 8th will be your last week of school for this school year. Here's what's happening the last week...

• Monday 8th - All 8th grade students will get to tour our beautiful new school. Although you are moving on to high school, I had many kids ask me if they were going to get to see the new school before they leave. I talked to Mr. Taylor and he said he would be happy to be our tour guide. So, ONLY the 8th grade will be getting the FIRST student tour of the completed new PCA campus. We are also planning an exciting Grand Opening Ribbon Cutting Ceremony/Open House Celebration on September 18th, and everyone is invited. It will be opened to the public from 1-3 and we hope we have a great turn out. So come back with your friends and family on Sept. 18th, you'll be glad you did! So, you will get to tour it first, this Monday the 8th at 9:00 after special. You won't believe your eyes....heck, you won't want to leave after seeing our new school, it's so awesome!!! I'm so excited I can't stand it! Because we plan to walk to the new school, if it rains on Monday we will tour it on Tuesday instead. So please be sure to come to school, you don't want to miss it!
• Tuesday the 7th - Honor Roll Assembly at 1:15 and new school tree planting
• Wednesday the 10th - it's our last field trip....to Dorney Park. Let's all pray for a beautiful sunny day! Don't forget to dress appropriately and wear comfortable shoes for walking and riding rides. Girls, be sure that you wear/take a one piece bathing suit. If you wear a two piece suit you must have a t-shirt over it all day, even a tankinie. Keep in mind you might get wet during the day, but also keep in mind that you must carry everything you bring. A small backpack might be good. Bring a bag lunch, drink and snack. Bring money for souvenirs, food, and drinks in the park. Be sure your parents know to pick you up no later than 8:00pm, unless they get a call telling them otherwise. It's a school night and teachers must get home, some drive 45 minutes home, so please respect that, and remember they've spent 12 hours with you, so parents need to be on time!
• On Thursday the 11th - Field Day - Wear your field day t-shirts and appropriate shorts or gym pants. A bottle of water would be a good idea too. Once again we will pray for a beautiful warm sunny day! Field day will be ALL day.
• Finally, on Friday the 12th - the LAST day of school!!! YIPPIE!!! If you have a year book bring it for everyone to sign. If you don't have a yearbook, maybe you had everyone sign your field day t-shirt on field day. I have picked and gotten approved the movie ""Remember the Titans". It's a great movie and administration said it would be ok, so on Friday you will get to watch it half in the morning and the other half in the afternoon. If you want to bring bags of popcorn, we will pop them as we did before and share. Keep in mind that we must have multiple bags for there to be enough for everyone.
• YOU'RE DONE.. HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!!!

So summer is here and you made it!!! Congratulations!!! Can you believe it, come September you will be officially a high school student...how cool is that?! I am very proud of all of you. Stay true to yourself. Remember right from wrong. Hang out with the right crowd...remember that if you hang out with the wrong crowd, and even if you are innocent...you get the reputation of being like them. So be smart, make wise choices, you have a brain so think for yourself, work hard, but have fun, enjoy high school...you only get to go through this life once ....do it right!!! Be happy, keep your eyes on your goals, enjoy life....and don't forget to stay in touch and invite me to your high school graduation. I'll miss you guys....God Bless! Mrs. Jilek "Nana"
