PTSA News

Teacher Appreciation Week - May 3-7 - LHS Teacher Lunch May 4

This is the one time of year we can show the staff of Lindbergh High School how much we appreciate them for all their hard work throughout the year.  A Staff Lunch has been scheduled for Tuesday, May 4th.  The PTSA is hosting this, but we really need the help of ALL the parents!

We are providing lunch for approximately 80 staff members, and need the following foods contributed:

Hot dishes, casseroles, pasta dishes, salads, fruit platters, vegie trays, sandwiches, appetizers, chips, juice, or any other lunch item you can think of.

We need the food items delivered NO LATER than 10:00am, May 4th, to the library.

In addition, we are arranging for dessert treats to be served the rest of the week.  If you have a specialty dessert, or homemade recipe, please help us out!  Desserts can be delivered at the same time you deliver a lunch item, or during the week(May 3-7), to the library.  Suggested dessert items:  Cookies, brownies, cakes, pies, sugar-free desserts.

If you can contribute, please contact Linda Kawamura at tkawamu@msn.com ASAP!

You would be amazed at how the gesture of a donation of food is so appreciated, by both staff and the PTSA (especially since we have no budget to supply food!).  Thank you for your anticipated help!

ALL-NIGHT 2010 GRAD PARTY
TICKET ORDER FORM

 
Attention Parents of Seniors:
The All-Night Senior Grad Party is an event that the senior class parents organize and is not a school-sponsored event.  The goal is to provide a fun, safe, supervised, and sober graduation celebration with all-night entertainment.  
The event takes place on the night of graduation beginning at about 10:00 p.m. with organized bus transportation picking up students, traveling to surprise destinations with entertainment, food, and music, and then returning them early in the morning of the following day.  The party is designated as drug and alcohol free.  For security reasons, no "in and out" privileges are extended.
How big an event, where it is held, and what is offered is totally up to US – the senior parents!
·     Attend a meeting.  (Held the first Monday of each month at 6:00 p.m. in Room 210A, except for April.  Next Meeting:  May 3, 2010 at 6:00 p.m. in Room 210A at LHS)

Students, with the weather warming up, it is important to remember the dress code at Lindbergh. You may not wear pants sagging below the hips, clothing that results in exposed cleavage or abdomens, sunglasses, tube tops, halter tops, tank tops with spaghetti straps (straps must be at least the width of your ASB card), short shorts or mini-skirts (length must be below your fingertips when your arms are extended), or pants with large holes above where your fingertips reach. If your clothing does not comply with the dress code, you will be sent home to change and may be assigned consequences. Thank you for your attention to this.

DETENTIONS

This is a reminder for students to check the detention lists posted around the building.

SCHOOL DISTRICT NEWS

Legislature’s cuts to district’s budget less than expected
District’s preliminary budget work based on ‘worst-case scenario’, Legislature’s budget not as severe to schools as Gov’s initial budget
April 14, 2010—Renton School’s budget next year will not be as negatively impacted by state cuts as first proposed in the governor’s initial budget, released in December 2009.

The district’s loss of state funding was to be as much as $4.3 million. That, coupled with increases in operating costs (utilities, insurance and state-mandated retirement annuities), brought the district’s total anticipated reductions to $6.1 million.

A more detailed budget will be presented to district staff, parents and the community at community meetings in mid-May. Those meetings were originally scheduled for late April. But, with the state’s late release of its budget, the district will now have to finalize its work in the coming weeks.
