WISH NIGHT UPDATE
THANK YOU!
Hello Parents!
Thank you for your generous donations to Wish Night this year. Because of you, not only have we been able to fund our basic school supplies like dry erase markers, pens pencils, and highlighters, but we have additionally been able to fund the following:
- Book shelves and seating for literature circles
- Classroom upgrades like printers and lamination and cricut machines
- A Tongva poet who came to speak to our English classes
- New kitchen supplies for our Culinary Science classes
- Sets of classroom headphones
- Educational software subscriptions
- Science experiments
- Tuners for our band instruments
- New reading books so our students can read current novels that get them excited to read
- Math activities
- Wall maps and globes
- And so much more…
Thank you for you generosity.

LIBRARY CORNER – ANNOUNCEMENTS
https://spmspta.org/library-corner/
ROZANNA BARANETS, SPMS LIBRARIAN
Birdie Sitter for parts of Summer Break
Looking for a loving indoor home for the library’s finches – Juju, Kewpie and Mango. Must be able to keep them for July and/or August (until school starts) or large portions thereof.
Finches have a soft, unassuming little “cheep” and are extremely easy to take care of. They are not loud, screechy birds.
They come with an overnight bag of food and other goodies, and just need water changed every other day.
If you are interested, please email Ms. Baranets at rbaranets@spusd.net
Thank you Library Volunteers!
School text book returns (science, math, history, ELD, Spanish, library books…everything) will take place May 19-25. See flyer below for more information.
