Alien Inline Residency – March 30-April 10  
We are excited to be welcoming Alien Inline to our school this spring which was postponed back in November. Each class will receive 3 one-hour sessions of learning the techniques and skills of inline skating. Please dress in comfortable clothing and wear socks. Alien Inline has some available helmets; however, all students are strongly encouraged to bring their own certified helmet. Thank you, AMPA, for funding this residency. Because this activity requires putting on safety gear and tying up skates, we are asking if parents could volunteer to help the younger students put on and take off all their gear. If you can volunteer, please email our AMPA volunteer coordinator, Jennifer Bestward at ampavolunteers@gmail.comThis year we will be adding a family skating evening on April 9 hosted by Alien Inline from 6-8pm.  Space is limited to 75 participants per session. We will be sending out a family skate night sign up link after spring break. 

Soccer Club Message from Ms. Saadi 
Hello Alex Munro families, 
I’m excited to share that I have started a soccer club for students in Division 2! Students will be committing to two practices each week as they build their skills, teamwork, and sportsmanship, all leading up to a special event — a Teacher/Parent vs. Student Soccer Match. 

This is where we would love your support! If you are interested in participating in the game, helping on the sidelines, or volunteering as a coach for the day, please fill out the attached Google Form.

Lost and Found  
We have many items in the lost and found. You are welcome to visit the school to see if there are items belonging to your child. Our March 20 PST Conferences will be a great opportunity to do so! We recommend labeling all clothing items, especially outer winter wear, to help us return items to their rightful owners.  

Bottle Drive Fridays 
Just like last year, you can donate your refundable bottles to AMPA by dropping them off at the front of the school (by the free little library) every Friday. Our goal this year is to raise $2000 through our bottle drive Fridays.
