Wildcat Weekly 5/5- 5/9

Hi Wildcats! 🐾
Hi Wildcats!
We had such a fun Friday Flag recognizing our Wildcats for all of their hard work and contributions to our wonderful learning community. We will have our last Friday Flag of the year on Friday, June 6. Mark your calendar as our last Friday Flag will be full of celebrations!
Mrs. Julie Goldberg
Proud Principal of Pomerado Elementary School
Congratulations! 🎨
Congratulations to our Art Teacher, Mrs. Wegner! She was presented with a $500 check at Friday Flag. She was selected for a $500 Teacher Grant being awarded by North Island Credit Union Foundation to use towards future class art projects. From among hundreds of submissions, her application was selected based on how well it addressed the grant selection criteria in addition to the clarity in which you presented the objectives and benefits of your project.
Thank you Mrs. Wegner for all you do for our Wildcats.
Pomerado Volunteer of the Year
We are proud to recognize Andrea Rodriguez Chamberlin as our Volunteer of the Year. As Director of Fundraising and a dedicated Foundation Board member, Andrea has transformed our school’s fundraising efforts through creativity, hard work, and deep community engagement. From launching key events like the Wildcat Run and Holiday Shop to applying for 25 grants and securing support from over 180 businesses, her impact is extraordinary. Andrea’s leadership, professionalism, and genuine passion have strengthened our school community and inspired us all.
Thank you Mrs. Rodriguez Chamberlin for all you do for our Wildcats.

Families who apply during the initial application window will be notified on June 13 whether their student has been offered a placement in the ESS program for the 2025–26 school year or if their student has been placed on the waitlist.
