Great things are happening at Jones Paideia in the Looper classes! Finally Mrs. Ward and I are able to formally announce that the 1st (and possibly last--I'll let you know in May) ever Looper Camp Out (LCO) has been approved! We crossed our fingers and everything has come to fruition. Mark your calendars: May 13-15, 2008, Jones Loopers will be roughing it in the wilderness--(not really roughing it or in the wilderness for that matter, but that sounds so much more exciting)! Hopefully you got the notice today about our informational meetings on Monday. Mrs. Ward and I will discuss the particulars of the trip including cost and payment options along with a simple and educational fundraiser we will offer beginning next week.
I, for one, am very excited to be able to offer our awesome students this phenomenal opportunity. As we told them today, they didn't deserve another Lock-In--they deserved more, and this is hopefully something each and every child can join in and experience. The most important thing to remember here is that the students earned this opportunity by working with our 2nd grade friends and each other so well for two years. This looping format has been an amazing experience (at least for me) and I want the students to be able to leave elementary school with unforgettable memories and the knowledge that they made a difference in each others' lives. The LCO will be a time for them to spend those last few days together, away from the bustle of daily life, with a chance to truly reflect on what their time at Jones and as Loopers mean to them.
I hope you are able to attend one of our meetings on Monday. We are holding the meetings in the library at 3:15 and again at 5:30. We will share with you what we know, answer the questions we can, and do our best to find answers for the things we don't know. If you are unable to attend, we will send home information to everyone else on Tuesday. As always you can contact me with any questions or concerns. I hope you are as excited about this as Mrs. Ward and I are. I'll see you Monday!
