Thank you, Mr. Cheslog!

past, this week is generously sponsored by our
PFC--THANK YOU VERY MUCH! The
program includes field trips, on-campus visitations by
Lawrence Hall of Science and other institutions,
workshops for students, etc. There is more
scheduled for this exciting event and you can help!
Do you have a certain expertise or collection of
articles relating to oceans or waterlife that you would
be willing to share, lend or donate to the school? If
so, contact your child's teacher or Kim Brast in the
school office. Also, there will be a number of activities
in which volunteers will be needed!!! Thank
you.
G. Join the PFC! Register for e-SCRIP!!
**** THE SIX PILLARS &
PAY IT FORWARD
CORNER ****
"Train up a child in the way that he should go, and
when he is old, he will not depart from it."
- King Solomon, Proverbs 22:6
CHARACTER COUNTS!
AS YOU GO FORWARD DAILY, STAND TALL
UPON
THE PILLARS OF TRUSTWORTHINESS, RESPECT,
RESPONSIBILITY, FAIRNESS, CARING &
CITIZENSHIP!!!
Every week we will be including different
aspects of our Pay It Forward theme for this
year in the Friday Flyer. Character
development should be a major component in
any well-rounded educational program and it
has been for many years at Springhill. Ask
your children what their classes are doing
for Pay It Forward. Come to Spirit
Wednesday, 8:30 AM every Wednesday morning in
the main courtyard and find out how we
promote character development at Springhill
School.
A. TRUST IN EDUCATION (TIE): Is the
Springhill community ready to provide another two
scholarships to keep Afghan children off the street
and in school for another year? Our two students this
year are Mariam, a 10 year old girl, and Hewad. a 12
year old boy. The cost has risen to $600 to fund such
a student. Mr. Budd MacKenzie of TRUST IN
EDUCATION visited our campus on last Monday, 5/3,
to promote "THE BUCK STOPS HERE' program for
this very purpose and to update our 4th and 5th
graders on the progress of the school in Lalander,
Afghanistan, that Springhill has helped to support for
the last seven years. Help support the Pillar of Caring!
B. JUMPROPE FOR HEART: Over $6000
was raised for the American Heart Association by
Springhill School students earning a dodgeball game
against the faculty for Mrs. Deitch's 3rd grade & Mrs.
Newcomb's 4th grade! Well done, Scorpions!!!
Thank you to Ms. Beth Brown for coordinating this
even and thank you all for supporting the Pillar of
Caring!!!
C. JAMBA JUICE SALE: Our annual Student
Council Jamba Sale to support the National Brain
Tumor Society took place last week and raised over
$400 to honor former students Zane Melmed & Matt
Lynn, and former Springhill Office Manager, Jan
Grenn, all of whom succumbed to brain cancer. A
check for money raised was presented to the Melmed
and Lynn families at this week's Spirit Wednesday for
the National Brain Tumor Society. Thank you to all for
supporting the Pillar of Caring including Jamba Juice
and Mrs. Holly Nolan who coordinated this successful
effort!
D. FIFTH GRADER LIA SWAN and Springhill
thanks you all for your donations of used towels and
sheets for her Tae Kwon Do service project. The
towels and sheets will be used at Care for Cats in
Pleasant Hill to wrap up newborn kittens and foster
cats. Thank you for your donations and supporting
the Pillar of Caring!
E. EAGLE SCOUT PROJECT: David Furtado
is a Boy Scout with Troop 204 in Lafayette. For his
Eagle Scout project, he is collecting new and gently
used shoes for the Mother of Peace Orphanage in
Zimbabwe. Collection bins will be available outside
the school office during the week of May 24, 2010.
The children of Zimbabwe are in desperate need of
shoes so the donation of your child's gently used or
new shoes will be very much appreciated. For any
questions please call David at 925-818-1224.
**** DIFFERENTIATION
CORNER ****
*Differentiated Instruction takes place in
all of our classes. Each week, we will be
profiling a
particular teacher's implementation of
Differentiated Instruction every week in the
Friday Flyer. Don't miss it!!!
In Ms. Wilson's 4th grade, an individualized approach
is used. Students who demonstrate mastery of topics
as they are introduced are given more challenging
activities to pursue while others receive guided
instruction from the teacher. Struggling students
meet separately in small groups for reteaching and
additional practice, and they often receive one-on-one
tutoring with our classroom aide. Hands-on activities
and games are used often to allow children time to
work with partners and small groups to apply their
math skills and strategies in a playful atmosphere.
Heather Records, our math
specialist, is also available each Wednesday to
provide additional insights and strategies. The goal
is for our students to view themselves as competent,
confident mathematicians.
*Differentiated Instruction is not
individualized instruction, but rather the
delivery of curriculum to students in a
manner that complements their learning style
while always challenging them at their
ability level.
**** TEAM GREEN CORNER
****
THE NEW FOUR Rs: Reduce, Re-Use, Recycle
& Rot
A. THE FIRST SPRINGHILL GREEN COUNCIL
met last Tuesday and were provided with an excellent
discussion on sustainability by Dr. Linda Riebel, a
published author and expert in the field. Many
suggestions came forth for maintaining a green
school and community in the discussion that
followed. Thank you Dr. Riebel for Paying It Forward
to Springhill School!
B. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 2, IS "NO WASTE
LUNCH DAY". Let's all try to eat our lunches with no
waste except for the compost pile--reusable
containers for food and beverages!!!
C. WHAT SUGGESTIONS DO YOU HAVE FOR
SPRINGHILL TEAM GREEN? Help us find
ways
to:
- Explore school and community green
pursuits that allow us to better address the
State Standards/Benchmarks as well as the
Lafayette School District Strategic Plan;
- Explore school and community green
pursuits that provide a fiscal benefit to the
schools and community;
- Explore school and community green
pursuits that address and enhance character
development programs already in place (e.g.
CHARACTER COUNTS!) in the Lafayette School
District).
Springhill School pays it forward by keeping
it green, supporting the Pillars of Caring,
Respect, Responsibility & Citizenship!!!

LASF Art and Music Fair "Wrap Up"
THANK YOU to all the volunteers who helped to make
this year's LASF Art and Music Fair a wonderful
success!! We really appreciate all of your hard work
and support. A very special thank you to Holly
Nolan - the LASF Art Fair Chair - for her
organization and coordination of the evening's events
and making sure everything came off without a hitch
(even the weather cooperated)! Thank you as well to
Holly's shadows - Joan Toney and Kelly Yiannikos
- who diligently worked alongside Holly before,
during and after the event. Thank you as well to
Dreyer's Ice Cream for the complementary
treats.
We would also like to thank:
Our wonderful LASF Art Instructors who have
been working with our children all year long. The
results were beautiful!
Our incredible and enthusiastic Music Instructors,
Victoria Ghulam, Liz Brummel, and
Wendy Clymer for putting together a terrific
music program. It is great to see all their hard work
and that of the students in action!!
Congratulations to our Fast Frame Luck of the
Draw winners! Congratulations to Jane Bishop
(K), Jordan Starr (1st), Sidney Zimmerman (2nd), Jay
Wolff (3rd), Zak Singh (4th), and Timothy Wong (5th)
whose artwork was selected at random and will be
framed and put on display around Lafayette and then
in the Springhill School Office.
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! (yes...more
Thank yous!)
LASF is happy to report that the results of the Spring
Fundraising drive are record-setting! So far, we have
reached a combined total of $950,000 in pledges and
gifts. We owe it all to you - all those generous
parents and other community members who
responded to the fundraising message. Our
success is a testimony to our schools' value to our
children and to the significance that we all place on
an outstanding education. We cannot thank you
enough for your support!

PFC President's Message |
 |
Are you ready for sleeping in and not making lunches?
I know I am - only 2 more weeks!
Thank you to Holly Nolan and Sally
Fonstein for a fantastic LASF Art Fair! Top Dog -
as always - was a hit! Despite the iffy weather the Fair
and Open House was well attended. What a great way
for us - the parents - to see what are children have
been up to in the classroom. We are so fortunate
to have wonderful Teachers at Springhill Elementary!
As we wind down the year make sure you thank your
child's Teacher for a great year!
We are hard at work streamlining the Scorpion Days
packet and registration. When you receive your letter
this summer please read it carefully - there will be
information on changes to the registration as well as
on the changes to the way LASF/PFC are funded.
Please read carefully and thoughtfully. The
changes being made are for the benefit of your child's
education in these difficult times. The crisis is far from
over - we all need to understand that. The District has
made significant cuts to their budget in response to
the cuts coming from Sacramento - these are hard
times. As a community we need to pull together to fight
for our children. It is important to understand the
changes to LASF - name, methods of fundraising, and
responsibilities - are an effort to provide the very best
for our schools. It is a collaborative effort - you, the
PFC, and LASF!
Have a great weekend!
Truly,
Julie Donlon

This Week in the Library |
 |
Remember, there are over 100 reasons to read. This
week reason number 32 is "You can discover new
heroes."
Please note that this was the final week for class
visits to the library. All library books were due at the
end of this week.
I spoke with the students about some summer
reading programs they can try. We have a district-wide
program called Camp Read-a-Lot. The Storyteller also
has a summer reading program. I mentioned that both
programs have suggested reading lists and a sheet to
record the books students have read, as well as
prizes for those who complete the programs.
Kindergartners heard The Hermit Crab by
Carter Goodrich. This story about a shy crab who
inadvertently becomes a hero to the other marine
animals ties in with what they're learning about
seashores in the classroom.
First graders were entertained by The Creepy
Crawly Calypso by Tony Langham. Ten kinds of
spiders and insects come together to create calypso
music in this story, accompanied by a CD of the music
and extra information about the insects and the
instruments used to create the music. First graders
were dancing in place to the infectious beat as we
listened to the CD!
Second graders listened to Henry Aaron's
Dream, written and illustrated by Matt Tavares, the
story of a young black boy from Alabama who
dreamed of playing baseball in the Major Leagues
and who didn't let any obstacles stop him.
Third graders laughed at Chester's
Masterpiece, written and illustrated by Chester
(with no help from Mélanie Watt.) This entertaining
look at writing had them laughing while they
empathized with Chester.
Fourth graders listened spellbound to Nubs: the
True Story of a Mutt, a Marine & a Miracle by Major
Brian Dennis, Kirby Larson, and Mary Nethery. Nubs, a
mistreated, wild dog, became attached to Major
Dennis in Iraq, but Marines were not allowed to have
pets. So Major Dennis and his team tried to raise
money to send Nubs to the U.S.
Fifth graders laughed at David Wisniewski's exposés
in The Secret Knowledge of Grown-ups and The
Secret Knowledge of Grown-ups: the Second File.
Mr. Wisniewski uses irony, puns, references to well-
known characters and stories, and many other
humorous devices in his outlandish stories about why
grown-ups tell kids to do or not to do something.
Check out our website at
http://www.lafsd.k12.ca.us/people/smattern/index.htm
You will find a link to our online catalog, a
revised library wish list, updates on what is
happening at the Springhill Library, reviews
of new books, and links to many helpful
resources.

mile run/walk. Responsibilities include maintaining
communication between the event Chairperson and
