Disneyland Day for our Decathletes!!

We are confirmed for March 27th with the limo. It will be picking us up from the school. We will go to my house so the kids can drop off their backpacks, then on to DelTaco to buy them lunch.

Debbie Santana and I will take our cars to Disneyland earlier in the day so we can drive the kids home. We will be staying until the park closes and we will be giving them approximately $30 to $40 dollars spending money to buy dinner at the park. You can send any additional money with them if you want. I am still waiting to hear from Mr. Payette as to if it will be possible for the team to have free dress day on the 27th so they will not have to worry about changing. I will follow up with another posting once we are confirmed.

As always please call if you have any questions or concerns. Coach Denise562-631-1537

Decathlon Team Update

Please take note of the following changes to our practice schedule:
1.Beginning March 9th we will be meeting everyday after school. That is March 9, 10, 11 and 12th. No meeting on the 13th - that is blow it off at Gondola's Day!!! Please do not schedule any Dr. or Dentist appointments that week. Please alert coaches your child will not be at practice that week. (believe me they understand)

2. We will be having another parent meeting as soon as I can confirm the receipt of the wristbands so we can pass them out and discuss lunch for the day of the event.

3. Saturday February 28th we will be meeting at Bon Jour Bagel until 10 am. Parents please have questions ready regarding your childs individual subject next tuesday so we can quiz them. I have met individually with some of the students and given them certain areas to focus on, please follow up with them.

4. Saturday March 7th we will be meeting at my home (address to follow) to view a program on Monet and study individual subjects from 7-10 am.

5. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! TO all parents who sent in yummy baked goods for our bake sale. We made $396.00!! It was a great success!

So again, please take some time to sit down with your student to go over their individual subjects and Civil rights subjects that is where they are lacking the most at this point!

ONCE again thanks to all for your dedication to your students continued success!
