PTA News and Announcements: Week of may 16th, 2022:
Good Morning Falcons,
The Farewell to Field event was a big success! Many visitors enjoyed viewing Miss Pence's collection of Mice (we only became the Field Falcons within the last 15 years) as well as the old photo books and the PTA book. Families loved the grade level music concerts!! It was also a great opportunity to see and celebrate our child(ren)'s learning. Thank you Mrs. Lukritz, Mrs. Thomas, Mrs. DeLaRosa, Mrs. DeCarlo, Mrs. Masciola, Lauren Johnson, and Liz Roder for creating a very special day!
Sincerely,
Trish Poulson, p.poulson@hotmail.com

Kindergarten Cookie Party
ALL incoming Edi-Field Kindergarteners and their parents or guardians are invited to check out your new classroom, meet the kindergarten teachers, school principals, and representatives from the PTAs today, Monday, May 16 from 3:30 - 4:30 pm at Edison School (246 Fair)! See this flyer!
ALL District Band Festival
The ALL-District Band Festival is also today, Monday, May 16 at 7:00 pm at York High School. Doors open at 6:15 pm for this FREE concert. All are invited! This event only happens once every three years.
Fifth Grade Performance
The Fifth Grade Performance is happening live and in person this week! A BIG THANKS to Melanie Canale and Mark Anglewicz! Give them a pat on the back as they've been running in circles to get this event to happen! Anyone who has run it in the past knows that it is a BIG commitment, but factor in some unusual circumstances this year and it just became even more difficult. The 5GP Committee still needs your help - they need 1 or more volunteers to supervise students in classrooms on Thursday, May 19 at 6:30 pm, during the Fifth Grade Performance. Please contact Melanie Canale at mabokina@yahoo.com if you are willing and able to help. Thanks!
FIELD DAY
Field Day is going to be held on Wednesday, 5/25 this year!! We need your help to make it another great day for the kids! Below you will find links to sign up to volunteer by grade level. If you have any questions please feel free to email Karen at KarenGrogan@gmail.com

2022 -2023 SCHOOL SUPPLY Ordering Info
The PTA is happy to provide you the opportunity to order your 2022-2023 school supplies! We know next year will be different in many ways, but ordering your school supplies will stay the same. Our Field teachers have worked with the teachers from Edison & Hawthorne to create a single, jointly approved school supply list for grades K-4. The 5th grade list was created by Field 5th grade teachers as usual. All kits will be shipped to your home mid summer. PLEASE NOTE: If you are purchasing school supplies for 2022-2023, YOU MUST order through the Field School Supply Link only!! NOT the school your child will be attending next year.
Ordering is easy! Just use this Field School Supply link to place your order: 2022-2023 School Supply Link
You have until July 1st to place your order. We suggest doing so now before you get swamped with all the end-of-year happenings! Thank you for your continued support of the Field PTA! If you have any questions, please contact the Field PTA School Supply Chairs Katharine Wagner (klkwagner@gmail.com) or Sandy Schultz (rsschultz5@gmail.com).
