Field Day
Garden Club
It's that time of year when peals of kids laughter and the shouts of teachers going down in the dunk tank ring out.
One of the highlights of the school year is Field day, a collection of events such as egg toss, dunk tank, races, face painting and bouncy houses that kids LOVE!!
This year, field day will take place on Friday, June 11th. A picnic will kick out the event. From 11:45 to 12:45 the whole school will picnic out on the playfield. Primary and intermediate classes will then participate in Field day activities starting at 12:55 and running to 2:55.
There are over 20 possible events. There will be a DJ to crank out music to dance to while kids jump on bouncy houses, run in relays and get their faces painted.
Volunteers are needed to help run or assist in events. Donations are also needed to help cover some of the costs. Contact Taira Rink or Nicole Jones if interested.
Come join the fun!
Thanks to the Lisa, Joy Muller, Marcy Lewis, Laura Longacre and their kids for their work on the planting beds around the school.
On Wednesday, May 26th five yards of donated bark from the Edmonds School district was dropped off at the CWE parking lot. In the next two days a small group transformed a weedy set of planters into a nicely landscaped school front.
What was once covered in weeds was transformed in two days - one clear and the other terribly rainy - into well tended planting beds.
Even kids joined in to shovel bark, and with only one small injury, taking many wheel barrows to the different planting areas.
While at first daunting, the pile dwindled quickly with the help of a small group of people. It was a nice reminder that a little bit of time, organization and sweat equity can lead to great changes!
Mileage Club is coming back to Cedar Way but needs your help.
Mileage Club is a great way for kids to get in shape and have fun. It runs one day a week during the lunch recess time. Kids walk laps around the lower playfield and receive a mark for each lap. When they fill up a card, they earn a charm. Students can also earn different charms for milestones they complete. It was extremely popular two years ago when we did it (before our field was closed for renovation) and we’re looking forward to bringing it back this year – if Mrs. Rink can find at least two parent volunteers to help!
Helping does not require a great time commitment (and younger siblings are welcome to come and walk too)! Volunteers could commit as little as one day a week for about an hour, 12:05pm-1:15pm (probably Wednesdays but the day is flexible depending on volunteer availability). Volunteers are needed to mark mileage cards and walk with the kids (it’s a great way to get to know Cedar Way students). At least two volunteers are needed but more would make it run even smoother.
With your help we can run mileage club for both the primary and intermediate recesses. As soon as she has the volunteers, Mrs. Rink will send the information out so kids can get signed up and off we’ll go! We’re looking forward to bringing this popular activity back to recesses at Cedar Way and hope you’ll consider helping. If you have any questions or would like to volunteer, please contact Taira Rink at (425) 431-2260 or by email at RinkT@edmonds.wednet.edu
