....... CCDS INFORMER
	FROM MRS. ROBERTS During this week of graduations, congratulations are due to Mrs. Sarah Sherlock. She graduated this weekend after earning her Master’s Degree in Education. Thank you parents, students, teachers and staff for making this terrific year at CCDS. It was enjoyable to gather at last week’s Wine Party hosted by Kathy Justice and Jim Brown. Sharing an evening together at the end of the year while kicking off an activity for next year was poignant because 11 of our families will be “graduating” from CCDS, but at the same time it was a lot of fun. Thank you Kathy and Jim for making the event possible. Seven years go by so quickly. These great 6th grade students will be sorely missed, but we won’t go there yet, because we have this last week to enjoy them! During the week, the 6th graders will hand out the annual, which they have spent the last month producing under the able directions and enthusiasm of Mrs. Funk, our CCDS composition teacher, and Mrs. Sherlock, our technology teacher. It is better than ever, so be sure to look for it! There are many activities filled with fun and nostalgic moments packed into the next 4 days. The basic information you will need to survive is listed below. For our 1st year parents, Closing Chapel is a family time. Each child has a parent present to honor our 6th grade graduates, but also to take advantage of a Kodak moment as your child receives his or her report card from Father Edward, their teacher, and me. The students, under the direction of Mrs. Moody, will present a musical offering during the service too. So you won’t want to miss this one. When the service is over, parents will gather around the flagpole with their children one last time for school dismissal at about 9:15-9:30. Wednesday: 9:30 - Presidential Physical Fitness Award ceremony 9:30 on the lawn for 4rd – 6th K- 3rd graders join us and we all enjoy Mrs. Duryea’s annual “dance.” Sweaters go home today for mending and washing for Closing Chapel.

	PHYSICAL EDUCATION The sixth grade class will be going to the Hotel Del Beach with Mrs. Duryea on Monday, June 8th to play touch football and flagg.  “Afterwards we’ll will all go to lunch.  This has been a tradition that is very popular with each graduating class.

The 2nd Grade Class would like to thank the entire school for their support of our “Pennies for P.A.W.S.” drive during the month of May. Because of your contributions we were able to give $332.00 to this organization. These funds will go toward medical fees for homeless animals looking to be adopted through P.A.W.S. We were even able to visit the Union Bank of Coronado to see exactly how these coins and currency were recounted and then deposited to the P.A.W.S. account. It has been a wonderful year-long adventure for us to give service to this very worthy group. Thank you so much for your help with this project. FOURTH GRADE Fourth Grade’s Service Learning Project is Wampler Kids, a camp experience for disabled children. The Fourth Grade held a Garage Sale to raise money for Wampler Kids on Saturday, May 30th. They earned @ $5000.00 which will pay for the supplies for disabled children to attend Wampler Kids Camp. MUSICAL NOTES Teachers Note:  Let’s skip to Vivaldi’s “Summer.” CD 8  TRK 5 Script p. 169. The feature composer of the week is Antonio Vivaldi.

	......... CELL PHONE POLICY
	A new problem has come to my attention, which is an out growth of our changing times.  The 2009-2010 Parent/Student Handbook will address this problem, but in the meantime I need your support.  Many children are bringing cell phones to school.  These may be necessary if children are walking home, but they are not to be used at school and the school cannot accept any responsibility for damage or loss of these phones.  As always, any calls that a child needs to make during the school day should be placed through the office phone with their teacher’s permission.  This has always been the rule, but we are finding that some students are texting during school and going into the restrooms to text or make phone calls.  Along that line of thought, arranging play dates etc. should be done before a child comes to school not when school is dismissing.  (The loading zone has enough problems without waiting for students to call their parents to arrange a play dates at the last minute.   So bottom line, while on the school grounds, cell phones should be in the students’ backpacks at all times.  I will be talking to the children about this, and I would appreciate your support from home.  As always - thank you for your support. Mrs. Roberts
