PRINCIPAL’S NOTE
DearSalmon BayFamilies:
Whew! What an amazing week!
We will try to put things back to “normal” as soon as possible this week for your students.
However: Remember tomorrow, Tuesday Jan 24, is an early release day because it is a furlough day negotiated for teachers as a budget reduction. School will be dismissed for all students at 11:30.
There will be a ‘lunchtime’ for elementary and middle school students prior to 11:30.
Here are re-schedules of events:
- MOST IMPORTANT: Friday will now be a school day. (previously was a day off called “the day between semesters.) Classes will be held as usual. This will be our first make up day for the snow days.
- WEP: the middle school Winter Enrichment programs will be on Friday (not Thursday). All classes and routines will happen as other Fridays. The make up day for the one we missed last week will be Friday, Feb 17.
- PIE – Parent Information Exchange – Demystifying Standardized Testing – New date will be Thursday March 8, at 7 pm.
- Chorus Concert: Monday Jan. 30, 7 pm in the auditorium.
Snow Make Up Days – District Calendar: the district has not settled the dates that will be added to the calendar to make up for the missed snow dates. As soon as we know, we will pass on the information to you.
Again, even with the furlough day this week, we will be busy establishing the routine for students. On Tuesday, for the first part of the furlough day, Middle School staff will use some of the time to do their planned activities to commemorate Martin Luther King Day. The elementary teachers and students will do their Peace and Justice assembly on Friday the 27th along with Friday sing.
Thank you, as well, for being so supportive and flexible on Tuesday when we had a both a late arrival and early dismissal—especially with those who pitched in to help get everyone home safely and families notified.
Take care,
Jodee
ELEMENTARY VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR’S NOTE
Doesn’t that sunshine feel great!! Here are your news and notes for this week
- I need lots of volunteers in the following ways. Email me if you can help.
- SALMON FEED FUNDRAISER – FRIDAY FEBRUARY 3rd from 4:00 on. We need at least 6-8 volunteers to help set up, serve and clean up for the evening. Our goal is to feed at least 362 folks, so we need a few volunteers to do it. All the funds from this evening will support our lower playground project. Thank you.
- ELEMENTARY DAYTIME TOUR GUIDES – It is that time to showcase our special corner of the world and invite prospective families to see what we do. Can you help lead a tour either on February 2nd or 9th? General helpfulness and willingness to answer questions are all the skills that are required. I will provide all tour guides with a friendly cheat sheet to help answer questions. I need 8 volunteers per tour date. Tour starts at 9:15 and goes until 10:30 or so. Partial helpfulness is still appreciated. Thanks
- FLYER DELIVERY – We have begun delivering flyers, showcasing our terrific middle school to the various elementary schools that are in our reference area (Hamilton and Whitman). Do you live near an elementary school that you would be willing to drop off some Salmon Bay promotion flyers to? Delivery would be best before this Thursday. Thanks in advance if you can help with this.
- CHESS HELPER/INSTRUCTOR – Because of a strong youthful showing, we could use some extra adult support in our elementary chess club. Could you help out with some of the basics of chess? Do you know enough to help advance some of the beginners? If yes, and I hope yes, please email me. Chess club meets on Mondays from 2:40-3:30. Our pawns would be delighted with the assistance. Thank you.
- STRONG EYES FOR EDIT WORK –Our directory is nearing it’s completion and needs a few strong eyes for some editing work. Email me directly Thanks
NEWS:
YEARBOOK COVER CONTEST – This is earlier than usual request. We are encouraging kids to submit their artwork to vie for the coveted spot of elementary yearbook cover. If you have an artist have them submit their artwork on an 8 ½ by 11 piece of paper outside of Megan’s office. All entries should be received by Feb 17th. Color or black and white art is okay.
5th Grade Families - Students and parents are encouraged to go one of the Salmon Bay middle school tours, either daytime or evening. Even though we are one school, your students are automatically enrolled into our middle school program and your students have been here for 6 years, the tour is a great window into the differences that happen between 5th and 6th grade.
Thank you Salmon Bay for supporting your kids and your school. Have a great week> Megan
MIDDLE SCHOOL VOLUNTEER COORDINATOR’S NOTE
Hello and welcome back after that unscheduled break brought to you by Mother Nature! I hope you had fun in the snow, weren't too horribly inconvenienced and are ready to get back to our busy school lives. Thank you for being so flexible last Tuesday as the district tried to predict the unpredictable and keep all the kids in the Seattle School district as safe as possible.
No OST Tuesday 1/24 due to our scheduled 3 hour release day. This is a furlough day and students will be released 3 hours early so there will be no after school activities.
This Friday January 27th will be a regular school day instead of a day off! We were supposed to have a day off this Friday, but the district has decided to use this day to make up some of the time missed due to the snow last week. They have not informed us of what other make up days there will be, but we will let you know as soon as we get that information.
WEP this week is rescheduled to Friday January 27th. Since we are now scheduled to come to school on Friday this week we are shifting all the WEP activities so that they will happen on Friday instead of Thursday. All of the activities will run just like the other weeks and happen on Friday. We will make up the WEP day we missed last week on Friday February 17th.
WEP installment payments due- If you were a family who paid the deposit on the WEP program and didn't make any other payment arrangements, we need your balance paid now. If you have any questions about amounts due, please contact our bookkeeper Jerri at jlharden@halcyon.com or call her at (206)793-1113.
Tonight's Choir concert that was cancelled has been rescheduled for Monday 1/30, Salmon Bay Auditorium at 7pm. Come hear our very talented choir students sing for you!
Volunteers Needed for Salmon and Pasta Feed- February 3rd- Thanks to the generosity of the Lynch family and Ocean Beauty seafood we are having a Salmon and Pasta Feed to help raise money for our amazing new playground! It starts at 6 and we will have a second seating of Middle School families at 7 who will have just returned from skiing and will be ready for dinner! There will be fundraising tiles for sale to help raise money for the playground and it will be a great time to socialize, raise funds and eat delicious food. I need some volunteers who would be willing to help out that night. We need people there at 5 to help prep, people to help with the running of the meal and some people to help with clean up. Please reply to this email if this is something you can do.
Thanks for your patience during this time of cancellations and rescheduling and hopefully we will be back to normal soon.
Have a great week, Caitlin
ALL SCHOOL INFORMATION
Why are students only in school ½ day on Tuesday, January 24th?
Due to 2011 budgets cuts to education in our state, Seattle School District SEA employees are on furlough for ½ day on Tuesday, Jan 24. After students are dismissed, teachers will be leaving their classrooms and showing their disapproval of these budget cuts by demonstrating in different locations of Seattle. Parents and students are encouraged to join. The more people participate, the louder our voice will be to the public, the media, and the legislators that cutting education funding must not be an option, especially since the WA Supreme Court just decided, once again, that the legislature is in fact not fulfilling its paramount duty: to adequately fund public education.
Everyone (students, parents, educators, concerned citizens) is invited to show support for public schools on Tuesday, January 24:
- Wear “RED for ED” on Tuesday, Jan 24.
- Meet at 1 p.m. on Jan. 24th NW Market St & 15th Ave NW with your thought-provoking signs and your cell phones.
- At 2 p.m. everyone sends pictures and messages to legislators: NOT AT WORK: AMPLY FUND PUBLIC EDUCATION.
And remember, bring your school spirit!
8TH GRADE PROJECT UPDATE
This week there will be no OST work session on Tuesday due to the furlough day schedule. There will be a lunch meeting on Thursday and our regular OST session on Thursday afternoon. I will try to check in individually this week with all those that have signed up; I’m still missing many topic choice journals and research contracts. Our topics for mini lessons and meetings this week will be note taking. There is a message about this on the class Source page. There is also information in the yellow folder on note taking. We do 30 cards first, but eventually you will need 100, including bibliography cards. Please stop by or email me if you have questions at meshelton@seattleschools.org. Thanks, from Melanie

Playground Community Support: It’s hard to believe that we’re finally here—but we are! The playground committee will be offering tiles for sale at the upcoming salmon feed, and hopes to raise $10,000 to wrap-up our fundraising for the year. So far, the committee has raised over $200K in grant support, and now everybody gets a chance to help out.
- A donation of $75 is for a 4x4 colored glass tile, etched with your family’s name or other text, and installed on the concrete plinth.
- A donation of $150 or more is for your text etched into the stones which make-up the star-shaped planter.
- Both of these design pieces showcase the heart and soul of our project, and will help to make the space really special.
- At the feed, you’ll have a chance to see an updated drawing of the playground (to be opened next fall!), and fill out a short form to include your name, email address, donation amount, and text to be etched.
- Donations by cash or check only, made out to FOSB.
- We’ll have samples available for you to look at, and have the most recent design drawings as well.
- Tiles will continue to be sold throughout the rest of the year, both at the scrip table, and with the volunteer coordinators.
We invite you to “like” us on Facebook, and stay tuned about final developments as we wind-down our fundraising and ramp-up our construction. On behalf of the playground steering committee, I thank you! ~ Robin Wise Lofstrom, robin@lofstrom.com.
So let’s play, Salmon Bay!
Adult Spelling Bee Fundraiser: Saturday February 11th 7–10 PM
Have you heard the buzzing in the halls yet? Well, that bee in our bonnet wants to make some money, honey! So if you’re a pretty good (adult) speller, like live music, and enjoy the company of good friends, then this fundraiser’s for you. We begin with a written, qualifying round, open to all paying contestants ($10 fee). After a break with live music by Alice Strassburger (alumni), the top spellers will then participate in a traditional (live) spelling bee.
All proceeds benefit Salmon Bay. $50 cash prize to the top speller. Cash donations for entrance accepted at door, donations for drinks gladly accepted, and the live bee offers a $10 buy-back (which is pretty darned popular)! Saturday, February 11th, 7pm-10pm, at 2007 NW 61st St. (the funky old church with the tricycles on the porch). Questions? Contact Robin Wise Lofstrom at robin@lofstrom.com. Bee there – and bee sure to bring yer date for this fun evening bee-fore Valentine’s Day!
Auction News! MARCH 31st 2012 – Saturday 5:00 – 10:00 North Seattle Comm College
Here is what we still need help with:
1. Someone to run the Fund A Need portion of the Live Auction. We won't know what we'll be funding specifically until after mid-winter break, but a general "getting ready to think about it" can happen now.
2. Someone to set up the Live Auction. This includes preparing displays, setting up displays and more.
3. A few people to help reconcile items on Friday the 30th at school. We'll be making sure that all items are accounted for and that they all have bid sheets and labels. Fun way to get a preview!!
4. LOTS of people to help set up on Saturday, the 31st at NSCC. We'll be there from 9am until start time, so any amount of time that you can help set up is greatly appreciated!
5. Someone to run the Wine Grab.
6. People to help with decorations. Talk to Jaci! jak@jacikajfas.com
Please e-mail me if you are able to step in to any of these, or have questions about them. suzaroo@gmail.com Please know that there are people to help you know what to do if you've not done any of these jobs before. The beauty of our auction is that there are many people who have done this all before and are more than willing to help train new people. :)
Our growing catalog of donated items is on the web as we get them: http://salmonbayschool.maestroweb.com/ check 'em out! You can donate on that site,or through the Salmon Bay school website's Auction link. http://www.salmonbayschool.org/auction A printable document is there as well.

Robotics Team Update
Congrats to FLL Team 405 – “The Winners” for wrapping up this year’s FLL Challenge by competing in the Western Washington state tournament this weekend. The competition was fierce and it was obvious through the project displays that many teams were extraordinarily committed to the challenge. Our team had fun and learned a few things while compiling some research on cabbage worms (a few types) that infect broccoli and other members of the cabbage family. The judges commented that it was a great start and an interesting presentation and made some suggestions for future improvement such as using a variety of research/reference materials, talking with experts, and sharing our results/ideas with others who might benefit from our ideas. The team again received positive feedback on the robot design, both the mechanical design and the programming with a suggestion that the robot performance could be enhanced by using sensors – a new challenge that we’ll tackle next year!
It was a fun and interesting season and a definite learning experience. During the teamwork challenge a number of the kids reported to the judges that they felt the experience helped them learn more about working on a team as well as learning about the challenges of designing something and the challenges of team research.
We’ll be taking a few months break from robotics club to reflect on the season and to formulate a plan going forward. We would like to participate in the FLL challenge again in the fall so will likely start the club again right after spring break (if the equipment is not being used in the classroom). One idea is to do mini-challenges each week in the spring to help the kids learn how to use the sensors; to try different building techniques; different types of attachments, etc, so we’re more prepared to hit the ground running in the fall. We’d like to get more equipment so more kids can be involved hands-on at one time. So if you have any leads on potential grant sources please let us know.
We welcome your thoughts and observations. Also if anyone wants to help pull together some of the mini-challenges for spring, let us know. We can be reached at dartom@comcast.net.
