 | The Next PTA/Booster Club General Meeting
Our next meeting is Tuesday, February 11, 2014. Come see who our next faculty speaker from 3rd grade is with interesting news about the classroom. Thank you to 4th grade teacher Mrs. Beall for sharing at our PTA meeting on January 14th. | Happy New Year! The time has come to begin forming the Soleado PTA Board for the 2014/2015 School Year. Please take a few minutes to think about who you think would be a good leader/advocate for Soleado and its students. We are asking that you fill out this straw ballot and bring it in to the office by Tuesday, January 21 with your recommendations. You can also email your nominees to rmrioux@verizon.net. We have also included descriptions of the board positions, as well as chair positions under each Vice President.
If anyone is interested in getting involved, but does not want to serve on the PTA Board, volunteering to be a chairperson is a great way. We hope to see many new faces next year. Thanks for your support. Second Grade Field Trip    Last week, 2nd grade classes got their feet wet at the Cabrillo Marine Museum to observe sea life up close and personal. January 2014 Art At Your Fingertips:
Golden Icons Created by Lee-Jean Lin
In this three dimensional project students will be introduced to the rich history of Egypt and its ancient writing system. They will create their own version of hieroglyphs on ceramic tile by molding clay into a low-relief sculpture and adding paint to create the look of an ancient artifact.

Congratulations to Kerry Nadal who won 1st place for her "Dad's Chicago Firehouse Chicken Chili". Congratulations also to Catherine Lucas and Donna Epstein who tied for "Best Ice Cream".

Thanks again to everyone.
A big thanks to Title 1 teacher Cindy Constable for her assistance with Mrs. Stutzel at morning drop off at the curb. Thank you parents for your cooperation in pulling all the way forward.
