TERRIFIC TUESDAY 10-27-2009

 

Good evening once again, Ford family!

Today, we launched into the home stretch of this year's Boosterthon Fun Run. Some great pledges came in this weekend, but we still need your help in connecting your student(s) with a few more sponsors if we are to reach our goal of providing for the Science Lab and instructor for next year. We know that this year, more than most, your "extra" has probably been difficult to find and that's why we truly appreciate every pledge or donation, regardless of the amount.

In a timely lesson, students were challenged today to "Never Give Up!" The Boosterthon Team encouraged them with the lesson that "You always win, when you don't give in." When the going gets tough, that's our greatest opportunity to grow and learn and stretch ourselves to become all that we can be.

Don't forget, the big event is only about a day and a half away. Please plan on participating in our students' success this Wednesday at the Boosterthon Fun Run!

DATE AND TIME CHANGE

DUE TO THE WEATHER THE BOOSTERTHON WILL BE ON THURSDAY INSTEAD OF WEDNESDAY. OUR TIME IS NOW FROM 12:45 -2:00.  HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!!

PARENTS PLEASE CHECK OUT THE NEW SPELLING LINK. IT WILL BE UPDATED WEEKLY WITH SPELLING WORDS.

Marvelous Monday 10-26-2009

Dear Parents~

The Boosterthon Fun Run is right around the corner and we want to say thank you for your support and generosity of our school thus far! We are on our way to reaching our financial goal to support Science and Technology at Ford Elementary. There are only a few more days for your child to get pledges for the Boosterthon Fun Run.

So far, our school has received pledges from 40 states and 15 countries. Our goal is to have all 50 states represented by Wednesday's Boosterthon Fun Run. Please help connect your child to as many sponsors in as many states! With everyone working together to get pledges, we will help Ford Elementary keep and improve our science lab and continue the teaching and instruction of Mrs. Belmonte! You all know the importance of science education so let’s help our school and help our science lab!

The Booster Team has been impacting the lives of our children through their enthusiasm and positive attitudes. They truly have been a breath of fresh air to our administration, faculty, students and staff! The character traits that our students have been learning from the Booster Team (Serve One Another, Take time to Read, Ask Great Questions, Never Give Up, and to Discover Your Talents) are resounding throughout our campus and it is our hope that the seeds that are being planted will take root in each of our children’s lives for years to come.

You are invited to attend the culmination of this wonderful event which will take place on Wednesday, October 28th. The Boosterthon Fun Run times are as follows and we would love to see you there:

- K and 1st grades– 8:15 to 9:30

- 3rd and 4th grades - 9:30 to 10:45

- 2nd and 5th grades - 10:45 to 12:00

Rain Date: Thursday, October 29th

We want to finish strong, so please keep on logging those new pledges or donations onto www.funrun.com. This weekend, there is a special weekend challenge, so make sure to ask your child about this special opportunity.

Remember, 10% of what your child’s classroom collects by our first due date (one week after the Fun Run) will go straight back to their class. If you have any questions, please contact Cheryl Musial, Ford Foundation President, at cheryl@mopdog.com.

Thank you again for your support and generosity. You are truly making a difference in the lives of our children. We hope to see you at the Boosterthon Fun Run!

FABULOUS FRIDAY 10-23-2009

Review content material nightly with your child. Ask your child what they have learned, and review standards so that you are aware of what is being learned and taught. Students will be expected to show what they know weekly in various subject areas. I HAVE FULL FAITH IN EACH STUDENT THAT THEY WILL BE SUCCESSFUL FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE YEAR WITH THIS PROCEDURE IN PLACE! PARENTS, REMEMBER WE ARE IN A PARTNERSHIP WITH EACH OTHER!

It is becoming more and more critical that your child knows his/her multiplication facts.  Long division can be quite difficult without having your facts memorized.  Find a time to practice these on a regular basis.  It doesn't have to be done with flash cards. You can practice anytime!  You can call them out as you ride down the road or wait in line.  Be creative!

Poem of the Week

The Atlantic Ocean Columbus sailed

To find the Indies, but Columbus failed.

Searching for pearls, silks, and gold,

Columbus and his crew had to be bold.

Three caravels made up his fleet.

Once on land Indians, they would meet.

Columbus claimed for Spain the land

By planting a flag in the sand.

He named it San Salvador

and left behind men to further explore.

Upon his return, his men were dead.

That the natives were friendly cannot be said.

Far from a failure, he was a success

For he found the Americas when he went sailing west.

DATES TO REMEMBER!!!

WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY! 10-21-2009

GREETINGS PARENTS!

 

 

The 2009 Ford Elementary Boosterthon Fun Run has begun! Many students logged on to funrun.com last night and entered the first pledges for this year's big event. We've set a good starting pace and the challenge now is to make the most of our fast start.

The Boosterthon team visited each homeroom class for about 5 minutes today and they emphasized teamwork. The students' creativity shined as the Booster team encouraged them to think of nicknames for their classes. A few fun examples are Mrs. Barnett's Beasts, Mrs. Varghese's Vikings, and Mrs. Hyde/Jones's Halloween Jack-o-Lanterns!

Wednesday begins the Character Campaign in which students will learn how they can "Stand Up" to change their world. Be sure to ask your student about each day's character lesson and log on to funrun.com to review the lesson with them. You'll also notice that each student came home with a "Getting Started" letter that explains exactly how to get a pledge at funrun.com and begin helping your school. Thank you for your generosity and support in helping us make this year's Boosterthon a huge success!

Also, a few emails have come in regarding percentage of donations directly to the Foundation. There is a revenue share with Boosterthon that is typical of most fund raisers for schools. Ford ES receives 52% (10% of the first collection goes to the teacher's classroom and 42% directly to the Foundation) - Boosterthon receives 48%...I have to say, they work for every penny! I truly believe we could not hold this level of a fund raiser by ourselves.

If parents would rather opt to have 100% of their donation given to the Foundation, they can write a check payable to: CCSF - Ford Foundation and list Annual Campaign in the memo. This would be wonderful, too. They would just turn it into the office in an envelop listed Ford Foundation. If they would like to print a form for the Annual Campaign donation, please visit the Foundation's website by clicking here.

Bottom line, however, parents feel most comfortable in donating and supporting is greatly appreciated. You are making such a difference in the lives of our students at Ford Elementary!

Please contact Cheryl Musial at Cheryl@mopdog.comwith any questions!

Thank You!!

Marvelous Monday! 10-19-2009

Boosterthon is on! FORD is raising money for our Science  Lab and maybe even a Technology/Computer Lab.
