Art & Music Showcase: Recap
Thank you to everyone who came out to our annual Art & Music Showcase on Wednesday! The chairs of the Art & Music Showcase Committee, Kerri Bertrand & Jenni Owen, put in countless hours (along with many dedicated volunteers) to plan & put on this event. Curie Art Consultant, Lee Bertrand; PTA Music Consultant, Deb O'Neill; & Visual & Performing Arts (VAPA) Instructors, Katherine Pupping, Mehta Avinash, & Nico Pachano Gonzalez all did a wonderful job preparing our students to showcase the skills they've been developing all year. We are so proud of our Curie community & hope you enjoyed the evening as much as we did!
LAST General PTA Meeting of the School Year: Wed., May 17 at 7 PM
General Association PTA meetings are now being held both in-person & online. If you'd like to join us in person, the meeting will be held on campus at Curie in Room B14 (closest parking is the back lot at Curie). We'll be serving refreshments & hopefully seeing both new & familiar faces. If you prefer to continue attending virtual meetings, you may use this Zoom link (which remains the same each month). A reminder will be sent on Wednesday as well. Meetings last one hour & everyone is welcome; the more voices we here from the better. This is the last general meeting of the school year.
Curie Class Cup: June 5 - 9
It's almost time for the Curie Class Cup! Each year, students in all grade levels participate in a variety of field day games with the goal of earning points for their classes. The class with the most points at the end of the week wins the Curie Class Cup. We can't wait to see which class comes out on top! We're recruiting volunteers to help with this event - click the button below to see the schedule (spots fill up quickly!).

Happy Mothers' Day
The Curie Student Council was able to donate just over $2,700 to the Make A Wish Foundation! Thank you to all who participated, & congratulations to the prize winners: Ms. Caron's class & Ms. Baca's class!
The first week of May brought Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week & Room Parents worked hard to make teachers feel special throughout the week by organizing delivery of their favorite gifts & treats. Nicole Ogden hosted a coffee cart on campus on Monday, & on Wednesday the PTA hosted a luncheon for all Curie teachers & staff in our beautiful school garden. Vanessa Walkowiak & the Garden Club had the space picture perfect leading up to the event & Candi Russell organized a delicious meal & gifted each attendee with a brand new Curie hoodie. Thank you to all of our volunteers, & thank you Curie teachers & staff!
As always, past newsletters can be found on our website!
