UPCOMING DATES FOR 2015-2016 SCHOOL YEAR

Note from Mrs. Adams

It is with mixed emotions that I let you know I will be taking a childcare leave

for the 2015-2016 school year. As many of you know we welcomed our sec-

ond son in January. I am excited to be taking time to stay home with my chil-

dren, but will miss my family at Monteith dearly! The past five years have

been some of the most fun and rewarding year of my life. I can’t think of a

better job than teaching art at such a great school. Thank you for the wonder-

ful memories.

Sincerely,

Laura Adams

Field Day 2015

What a crazy weather day we had this year for field day! Despite the very wet conditions, the

comment I heard most from students was….”best field day ever!” It appears as though

competing in the pouring rain is a fan favorite!! Volunteers were amazing the way they just

stayed out in the wet conditions and made it so fun for everyone! Thank you volunteers and

thank you PTO for sponsoring this great event. Field Day would not be possible without the

support provided by Principal Keith Howell and Monteith’s faculty. A special thank you to

Principal Keith Howell and all our wonderful staff for their support of this event.

- Mrs. Frederick

Field Day 2015 - A Great Success!!

With 32 different event stations, students had plenty of opportunity for both participation and even a little

competition. Students traveled in groups from station to station challenging their skills. Some of the

events were designed for skill and some for maximum fun!! This year some of the favorite events were:

angry birds, CARS, trout trot, shoe kick and sponge bob. Monteith students displayed a high level of

cooperation and good sportsmanship. Monteith parents, you have one more reason to be proud of your

kids!!

Volunteers are the Greatest!!

This year our Monteith Family can boast of over 100 involved parents & grandparents, aunts & uncles

PLUS middle school and high school students earning community service hours. Also working to make

this day a success were several of our own 4th and 5th graders volunteering during the morning portion of

the day. Volunteers ran stations, set up events, filled water balloons and helped with all the details of Field

Day. An event this large is only possible with the help of many volunteers. Thank you to all of the

volunteers who contributed their time and hard work to make Field Day a great success!

A Special Acknowledgment . . . . . . .

.. . . . . . . . must go to Ty Lefebvre and Gail Howe. These “field day moms” organized the army of volunteers

in addition to shopping for all the supplies, filling water jugs and just overall keeping things running

smoothly!!! Also, thank you to Mrs. Hartman for our new event “fowling” as well as Colleen Hughes,

Tracy Gusmano and Cathy Kinnaird for the extra water and clean up help. And one more thank you…..

OF COURSE thank you to Mark Cwiklinski for donating the water for all our volunteers!

Lunchroom Supervisors

If your interested in a paid or unpaid Lunchroom Supervisor position next year, please see Patti or

Cathy in the office to sign up. We also are in need of Lunchroom Supervisor subs. This may be

more suitable for your schedule.
