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

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. Thank you in advance!

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).

Donate unused or new school supplies to WE POP UP
We Pop Up, a local organization that assists D205 families in need, is collecting new school supplies that will be distributed prior to the start of the next school year. If you have new school supplies that your child didn’t use this year or you would like to donate new supplies, please place them in the box in the main entryway. If you would like to purchase new supplies to donate and to make your shopping a little easier, we are suggesting the following items per grade level:   
PreK-2:  crayons, markers, glue sticks, colored pencils, single subject notebooks, folders

Grades 3-5:  scissors, pencils, erasers, tape, rulers, composition books, pencil boxes

Grades 6-8:  zip binders and 1-inch binders, pens, nylon pencil cases, post it notes, loose leaf paper, dry erase markers

Grades 9-12:  notebooks (3 and 5 subject/section), graphing paper, highlighters, sketch books, index cards

We will be collecting at school through the end of the year. You may also drop off supplies at 560 S. Sunnyside or 954 Fern through the end of June. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS FOR NEW SUPPLIES ONLY. Thank you for helping to support We Pop Up!
