LINCOLN ELEMENTARY
The sixth-grade class was bid a fond farewell at the promotion ceremony on June 19 and at the annual "Teachers Versus Sixth- Graders Softball Game" on June 20.
During the summer months, parents are encouraged to check the school's website at golincolnlions.org for ideas to keep children reading.
Incoming kindergarteners and their parents should plan on attending the orientation at 3 p.m. Aug. 31 in the cafetorium.
LA CRESCENTA ELEMENTARY
A check for $14,000 was donated to the school on behalf of the PTA by President Pati Pineiro-Goodenberger. Many successful fundraisers made this generous contribution possible and funds will be used for student programs.
Resource specialist teacher Marianna Crider is retiring and moving to Montana. Teacher Rosabel Kim has accepted a teacher specialist position at Mountain Avenue and Lincoln elementary schools.
These special individuals will be missed for their creativity, sense of humor and dedication to La Crescenta Elementary.
Volunteers are needed for the Meet the Masters Program for next year. Please call the school office if you are interested in chairing this worthwhile program.
ROSEMONT MIDDLE
