What an amazing few months we’ve had with the return of Running Cubs. It will start back up in this Fall. See you then!

• Open House and 5th grade State Fair were amazing! I went through all the classes today where our students shared how much they loved vising Chaparral with their families. They enjoyed seeing friends and visiting our specialists including art and music, the Library, our Counselor, the playground, and the areas they go to during their school day.
• Spirit Challenge Week right after Memorial Day to finish out the year. Our traditional “Wacky Week” is May 31st through June 3rd. This week is always a fun way to show your CUB spirit in a “wacky” way. Click Here for May 31 – June 3 Spirit Challenges
• COVID numbers have been higher in L.A. County and I do not want our plans for the end of the year to change, as we are almost there. We do not have control over many things, but let’s continue to be vigilant and remember to make choices that will help keep your family and all C.U.B.S. safe.

Chaparral PFC is so excited to announce our new playground has been installed and is already being used by our students! As seen in the pictures, this playground includes multiple climbing options, slides, monkey bars and numerous ways to have fun! Located on our lower level, this playground will be used by all grade levels throughout the year and was made possible by donation to our PFC Donor Drive! Your generous donations allow for campus improvements that directly impact the Chaparral CUBS!! A special thank you to our CUBS Committee for overseeing this project: Grace Fisher, Felice Becker, and Stacy Dishlip. We are so excited to see the students enjoy the playground equipment for years to come!

We had an incredible Kindness Challenge Week. The participation by students and staff with the Spirit Challenges was epic. So many of our classes had 100% participation. Students worked hard to spread kindness all over school. Our library now has many kindness bookmarks made for use in the library by all students.  I have included pictures in this message. We finished the week with an assembly after our fire drill where we shared the Kindness Chain we put together schoolwide. Each link on the chain contains a special message of hope, love, and kindness. It is a beautiful reminder that we are truly connected. We will be posting our “Kindness Unites” chain in the library as a great reminder of the power of kindness. Kindness has the power to unite us all!  Go C.U.B.S!

Huge Thank You to our Read-a-Thon Coordinators Maria Caddis and Grace Fisher. We raised $32,219 and 447 kids participated this year clocking in a total of 147,454 minutes of reading! The prizes that you ordered will be going home next week with your kids.

Huge Thank You to Jodi Dalyai and Margaret Scarborough Greer for organizing Chaparral’s Annual Toy Drive with Motor4Toys! It was a HUGE success. The donation of toys was our largest one yet. We were told by the organizer, Mr. Dustin Troyan, and the Chevrolet Car Club that they were bringing the toys to an underprivileged community that very day. Great job CUBS!

Please remember to fill out the Health Screening on ParentSquare DAILY! The District is still requiring this for our Staff, Teachers, and Students safety. Thank you
