Dear Parents of 6th Grade Students,

As we wind down the last few weeks of school, there are quite a few events –
for parents and students -- you should mark on your calendars.  We also *need
parent volunteers* to help make each of these gatherings successful.  Please
take a look at upcoming activities and let the person who is coordinating an
event know if you will be able to assist.

   - *5/6 Grade Orchestra / 6th Grade Choral Concert – *Thurs. June 2nd  &
   Fri., June 3rd* *

   - *World Expo – *Monday, June 6th

*6th Grade Hangout – Tuesday, May 24th**  *

This is the third and final hangout for this school year.   Please make sure
your 6th-grader has reserved time to gather, socialize and relax with other
students in the grade from *2:00pm to 3:30pm *on *Tuesday, May 24th.*  Students
will be gathering in the plaza area between the new gym and the football
field.  We still need many more parent volunteers!  We need your assistance
with setup/cleanup and to help chaperone. If you are able to volunteer
please contact Portia at [email-masked]

*5/6 Gr. Orchestra / 6th Gr. Choral Concert – Thurs., June 2nd & Fri., June
3rd *

Parents will have the opportunity to hear the music our students have been
studying! The sixth grade chorus and 5/6 instrumental ensembles will present
their end-of-semester concert on *Thursday, June 2nd at 7:30pm* & *Friday,
June 3rd at 2:30pm* in the Kogod Arts Center.  Attendance is *required *for
students and parents are most welcome at *both* concerts!

Dress for *both* concerts is “Black and Whites”.

*Girls:*  Dark pants or skirt (must be knee length), white top, dark shoes
(no tennis shoes)

*Boys:*  Dark pants, white dress shirt with collar, any color tie, dark
shoes (no tennis shoes)

There are many wonderful traditions associated with the Thursday evening
concert and it only seems as if they happen by magic.  If you are able to
volunteer for the event, please contact Amy Elsbree at [email-masked]

*Ice Cream Social for Rising 7th Grade Families –** Sunday, June 5th *

 The Welcome Committee is sponsoring this very special event for the entire
family. It’s a fabulous opportunity to meet new friends and catch up with
others. New and returning families, with rising 7th grade students, will be
gathering in the Wetland Garden from *2-4:00pm on Sunday, June 5th.*   In
case of rain, we will be meeting in the Middle School lobby.  Stop by to
enjoy the ice cream and the conversation.  Students new to the school will
be participating in a scavenger hunt, so they’ll have the opportunity to
learn more about the campus. If your student would like to serve as a guide
or you would like to volunteer, please contact Co-Clerk of the Middle School
Welcome Committee, Sung Hee Kim at [email-masked]

*World Expo – Monday, June 6th *

Families of 6th grade students are invited to the Sixth Grade Expo on *Monday,
June 6th *from *4:00pm to 5:30pm.* Please plan to have your child stay after
school that day, as students will be helping to set up for the Expo. The
event, a culmination of the work of all students from all their classes, is
meant to celebrate the accomplishments and knowledge of our sixth graders.
We’ll gather, first, in the new Meeting House. At 4:30pm, the event will
move to the 2nd floor of the Middle School, where parents will be able to
view some of the projects on which our children have been working. We’ll
need volunteers to provide refreshments for this gathering, and help with
set-up/cleanup for the event. Please contact Hillary, at
[email-masked], if you would like to help.
