Almond Thursday Word

Dear Almond Families:

Would you like a one-stop-shop for joining the Almond PTA, registering your child/children for school activities like the Almond Singers and Birthday book club as well as supporting programs like the Eagle Scholarship fund and LAEF? Then complete your Back to School Registration now! The Almond Back to School Registration System is required to be completed by all parents/guardians of children attending Almond and is different from the PowerSchool Registration operated through Los Altos School District. Thank you to those of you who have already registered.

Please enjoy some pictures below of our students and teachers in action this past week.

Here’s to family involvement at Almond!

Raquel

We are still seeking a few more volunteers to help with serving hot lunch this school year. Time commitment on scheduled days is approximately 11:40am-12:40pm. You may specify how often and what weekdays you are available. Even just once a month is a huge help. Main responsibilities are helping to hand out food and ensuring children in the lunch line are moving through quickly.

If you are able to volunteer, please email Laura Gao at lauvid@gmail.com or you may sign up on this spreadsheet: 2019-2020 Hot Lunch Volunteer List

The Almond Singers Chorus, under the direction of Mrs. Margaret Barnett, will have its first rehearsal this Tuesday, September 10th from 7:30am to 8:15am, in the Multi. Almond Singers welcomes students Grades 2-6, no experience necessary. We have two concerts (Winter & Spring) at Almond in the Multi, and participate in the LASD Choral Showcase. If you'd like your student to become an Almond Singer, please sign up online through the PTA Back to School Registration, or contact Margaret Barnett at margaretmbarnett@gmail.com.

Dear parents,

We are looking for past students, 15 or older, interested in coming to Walden West as a cabin leader. They will receive training beforehand and can earn up to 100 hours of community service. This would be a great opportunity to develop leadership skills and interact with Almond students. We plan to attend Walden West November 4-8 this year with sixth-grade students from Gardner Bullis. If your child is interested in joining us for this trip, please let us know. You may find more information or apply online at waldenwest.org/volunteer (be sure to request the dates of our trip). If you have any questions, please let us know.

Thank you,

Mr. Stuart

Mr. Linvill

Ms. Vriksha
