Even though we didn’t collect $$ for it, our kids have still left their “legacy” mark on the school.
Be sure to check out the new rock garden and flowering cherry tree at the northwest corner of the school property. Doug Hansen (Seiji’s dad, J) has been working with the 5th graders on the garden. This year’s fourth graders will be taking over next year to make even more improvements.
Also, the Spanish Class made ceramic tiles that now decorate the north side of the raised stage area on the kindergarten playground.
Be sure to check these out when you’re at school tomorrow for graduation.

Yearbook Thank You
A note from Jaqui, Will's mom --
I wish to send along my hearty thanks to all involved with this years YEAR BOOK committee. It is elegant, clean and prizes our students on an individual level and of course Barry’s photos are phenomenal. The layout does a beautiful job balancing the student’s words with their photos creating a fine balance.
It is VERY hard work putting together a year book and so I wish to thank all who were involved!
Happy summer to all – Jacqueline James Golding.
Thanks Jaqui! We had a great time working on it too!

Priscilla and Nani Need Pizza Volunteer
Priscilla and Nani are hosting the annual pizza party for our (mostly 5th grade) playground mediators this coming Monday, 6/16. They need help getting the pizzas from Pudge Brothers to Wallingford Park.
Email Priscilla or Nani if you would be able to pick up nine pizzas (paid for) at Pudge Bros (263 N.E. 45th ) at 11:45am on Monday. They would love it it you would also be able to stay for a little while to help facilitate serving the pizza (but that part's not as important as the delivery, of course).

Hamilton E-Bulletin
If you're headed to Hamilton, now is a great time to get connected!
Hamilton International Middle School PTSA would like to offer an opportunity for incoming Hamilton families to sign up for the Hamilton E-bulletin. The E-bulletin is sent out once a week and a couple extra times a year for special announcements.
You can sign-up directly at http://groups.google.com/group/hims-ebulletin-class-of-11/subscribe, or email Ethan Bradford at Ethan_Bradford@stanfordalumni.org.
While this is intended primarily for Hamilton families, it's also a great way to keep track of what’s going on in the neighborhood.
