Alice in Wonderland Auditions
|
|
As a reminder, Ormondale School will be presenting the annual school wide musical on
Wednesday, May 24th,
"Alice In Wonderland".
Auditions for the speaking parts will take place this
Wednesday, January 18th
after school in the Music Room (room 28).
Times for the auditions are as follows:
12:45 to 1:30 p.m. for grades K and 1 and
1:30 to 3:00 p.m. for grades 2 and 3.
There will be no supervision for students immediately after dismissal until the time of the auditions so students should be picked up at dismissal and brought back to school at the appropriate audition time. The auditions will be a supervised experience for students only. Parents can pick up their child at the end of the scheduled time for their grade level. There is no need to prepare your child for auditions as children who audition will be singing a familiar song that Mr. White has taught them in music class.
Rehearsals for the program will take place on Wednesdays after school from
12:30 to 3:00 p.m. A schedule of rehearsals will be sent home once the casting has been completed.

Volunteers Needed for Ormondale's Spanish Class

Ormondale's Spanish Class is looking for volunteers!!! We are preparing for a school wide event on
March 31st, "Viajando en español". There is a lead mom in each grade for this event and we need more parents to help her and the teachers make this event run smoothly.
Each classroom will represent a Spanish speaking country. Students with their passports will travel around Spanish speaking countries. In each country (classroom) students will be able to learn a bit about that country, make a craft, taste some food, play a game, and more.
If you have any questions about "Viajando en Español" please talk to the lead mom in your grade, stop by room 1, or e-mail Shenny Covotta

2017 Foundation Spring Benefit - Save the Date
|
|
Save the Date!
FANfare Spring Benefit
Saturday, April 22, 2017
This spring's "FANfare" will mark the start of a new tradition as we're planning a fun, laid back event the whole community will enjoy right on the tented grounds of Corte Madera
with beautiful Windy Hill as the backdrop.
Highlights include:
- Farm-to-table themed, sit-down dinner
- Open bar and craft cocktails (no drink tickets!)
- Live music and dancing
- Sign-up parties for adults and kids
- Exciting raffles
- Live Auction culminating in the Fund-a-Need (FAN) paddle raise
Fund-a-Need: EngageSpace
This year, the school leadership chose "EngageSpace" as the Fund-a-Need (FAN) - the
special, donation-only, paddle raise held during the Live Auction.
Please join us to raise money for "Engagespaces" -
natural, organic and modular upgrades to both Ormondale and Corte Madera's
outdoor play facilities.
The concept leverages local architects and past investments in the schools' infrastructure (such as MakerSpace) with envisioned child-led design. The concept was chosen in light of gaps at our schools' play facilities as well as research showing students don't just crave physical activity, they actually learn better when they're more engaged in the school's outdoor spaces.
