Vintage's teachers and staff want to thank all of you for making us feel your love and appreciation.  The lovely assortment of sweet and savory pastries, fruit, and chocolates were such a treat.  Thank you also for the thoughtful supplies and treats in the adorable hero bags. PTA volunteers deserve a big hand in making this all happen.

Reading for pleasure unlocks the power of information and imagination and helps children discover who they are. Here’s what you can do to help children develop stronger reading skills and a love for reading:

Set the example. Let children see you read.

· Have a collection of books in your home. Update this collection routinely to keep up with changing tastes and reading skills.

· Support our school’s Book Fair. Allow your children to choose their own books to read.
Our Scholastic Book Fair is a reading event that brings the books kids want to read right into our school. It’s a wonderful selection of engaging and affordable books for every reading level. Please make plans to visit our Book Fair and be involved in shaping your child’s reading habits.

Book Fair dates: Monday May 13 – Friday May 17.

We are celebrating “Staff Appreciation Week,” to honor our staff here at Vintage Magnet. Their hard work and commitment make a huge difference in our children’s lives.  Let’s show them how much we appreciate them by having our children do something nice for them every day of this week.  Here are some ideas to honor teachers and staff that have helped your children.

Flower Monday - Bring a flower.
Thank You Note Tuesday - Write a thank you note.
Monet Wednesday - Draw, paint, craft a picture.
Treat Thursday - Bring an edible treat (fruit, candy, chocolate, or anything else you think they would enjoy)
Whatever You Want Friday - Surprise with a gift! Anything you want! Use your imagination!

Vintage Spring 2019 volunteers were a small but mighty group.  For two hours these wonderful students, parents, family, friends, and staff came out.  They rolled up their sleeves and gave areas around Vintage a deep cleaning. It truly makes a welcome improvement to our school campus and a nicer place for our students to learn.  Vintage holds school beautification days twice a year, fall and spring.  If you were unable to participate this year, we hope to see you at the fall 2019 event.  Your participation does make a difference.

Participants were given a raffle ticket to win Disneyland tickets.  Congratulations to K. Bryan from Room 28 and his  family for winning the tickets.
