PCKCS 4-10-08
FROM THE DIRECTOR
Get ready to vote! No, I'm not talking about electing the next President of the United States, I'm talking about the OC election next Tuesday, April 15, 2008. For the first time in several years, we have more candidates running than we have open seats. Every year three OC members are slated to rotate off the OC, and three new ones are elected. However, an OC member who is scheduled to rotate off may choose to run for a second term.
In today's Thursday newsletter (and on our website at www.ckcs.net) you will find a short bio on each of our four candidates, along with a brief overview of the voting process. Kim Bruce, Jeanne Burks, Mara'D Jahde and Michael Sparks are all PCKCS parents who wish to serve on the OC for the next two years. Per our bylaws, three of these four highly qualified parents must be elected to serve on the OC by the parents and staff of the school.
Voting will begin at 7 A.M. on Tuesday morning, April 15, and run throughout the day until 7 P.M. The process is easy...simply stop by the front office anytime between 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. and cast your vote. You may be asked to show a picture ID before voting, and you will sign in on a parent/staff roster. All parents of current PCKCS students are strongly encouraged to vote. Remember, the OC represents the parent body of the school; they are your voice on policy issues and school governance decisions. Please make it a priority to stop by and vote next Tuesday. Thank you.

Douglas County School Board Meeting - Next Tuesday, April 15, at 5:15 P.M. the Douglas County Board of Education (620 Wilcox Street, Board Meeting Room) will hear a formal proposal from the DCSD charter schools regarding our request for a ‘fair share’ allotment of any future bond/mill levy dollars the school district receives from taxpayers following a successful bond/mill levy election. It would be helpful to have a healthy showing of charter school supporters at the meeting, as the ballot question and decision to include charter schools as recipients is still to be decided. Our presentation is scheduled for 5:15 and should last approximately 20 minutes. Your supportive presence is encouraged and appreciated. Thank you.
Earth Day, April 22nd - The Middle School will be involved in a symposium about water issues, and will have opportunities to hear from a number of community members. Later in the day, older students will mentor younger students in water-related activities. There will also be tree plantings, and an exploration of UV radiation. We are encouraging everyone to try to make it a trash-free day, so, if your student is bringing a sack lunch, please try to use reusable containers. Thank you for your support!

Dads & Donuts – This very fun event for students and dads will be held again this year – April 18th at 7:00 A.M in the school gym. Moms - we need your help! Please e-mail Cristy Johnston at cristy.johnston@comcast.net
Moms and Dads, looking for a great way to have “date night” with your son or daughter? Maybe your child wants to take a grandparent out for a night on the town? “Fiddler on the Roof” is a fantastic way to do that! For $18 per adult or $12 per child, have we got a show for you! But hurry! We literally have only a handful of tickets for each show remaining (in pairs, threes or fours only). Call Cindy Piggott at 303-805-1969 to get your tickets.
The few remaining tickets will be on sale in the lobby of the school on Friday afternoon from 2:45 – 3:15, just prior to carpool. If you are interested in tickets and want them that day, bring your check or cash and they can be yours!
Already purchased your tickets? Check your child’s’ Thursday folder today for your ticket envelope.
A huge thank-you to all of the Sewing Day volunteers that joined the fun last Saturday to work on costumes. If you have an interest in getting involved with other dinner theater activities, call Cristy Johnston at 303-841-4569. She is currently organizing volunteer schedules and details for show days.
