Arlington Classics Academy

Field Day 2008 will be at the beautiful Veterans Park in Arlington, TX.  STUDENTS SHOULD BE DROPPED OFF AT 8AM AT VETERANS PARK and will be dismissed at 1:30 p.m. by their classroom teacher/coach.  If your child does not turn in a permission slip by Friday, May 9, 2008, they will be given work to be completed at ACA. 

Who:   All ACA Students, Teachers, Staff, and Parents
What: 2008 Field Day
When: May 16, 2007, 8 am – 1:30 pm (sharp)
Where: Veterans Park

Special Instructions:
• DROP OFF AND PICK UP STUDENTS AT VETERAN’S PARK, NOT THE SCHOOL.
• We will not have lunch at the park.
• Students should wear appropriate shorts, field day t-shirt, and tennis shoes (no sandals).  Ball caps, visors, and sunglasses are permitted.
• Bring the following:  bottle of water, heavy snack, a towel to sit on, sun screen, bug repellant. The student is responsible for keeping up with those articles; a small tote bag will help.

There will be Homework and Health on Friday, May 16, but parents are responsible for transporting ACA students to the school after Field Day.

Volunteers Needed!

The girls and I just delivered 60 lbs of pull tabs to the Ronald McDonald House in Fort Worth. They said they get $.80/lb so that equals about $48. That's pretty good...for basically trash. A special thanks goes to Mrs. Sullivan's room who collected the majority of them!!

They were out of the large boxes (for those that requested them) but they will get us some. They also listed some fun opportunities to help out there:

• bring a group and either bake goodies there in their kitchen or make supper for them (every night volunteers make supper for the House)
• have a field trip there and bake or put up holiday decorations (except Christmas - they already have a group that does that every year)
• take up a collection of toiletries (like you would find in a hotel) - they provide a gift bag for each family when they arrive
• help assembling the gift bags
