Thanksgiving Celebration
The entire fifth grade will be participating in a “Thanksgiving Throwdown” on Tuesday, November 21st.  Students will participate in a variety of activities hosted by the five fifth grade teachers and will enjoy Thanksgiving lunch together from 11:45-12:45.  The attached link will take you to the sign up genius for the event!  We appreciate you and are thankful for your support!





San Pablo is currently hosting a food drive to assist families in need within our school community.  Food donations can be sent in through November 20th.  Fifth graders have two focus items of gravy mix and cranberry sauce, however, any items are helpful in meeting the needs of those around us.

Field Trip Information
Our field trip to the Jacksonville Icemen is this Tuesday, November 14th.  Although we always try to be organized and thorough, the Icemen organization appears to be new in the realm of hosting field trips and it has been challenging to pinpoint what our ‘free lunch’ will consist of during the game.  As of Thursday, we have been advised that students will have a voucher for a hot dog and drink and that they are still working with a vendor about providing a piece of fruit with the lunch as well.  With that said, we would like to outline the following options for our students:

  1. Students are welcome to pack a bag lunch and bring it to the game, especially if due to possible food allergies or religious beliefs. 
  2. Students may pack an additional snack item, such as a bag of chips, to eat with the food that is provided using the voucher at the game.
  3. Students may bring up to $5.00 to spend at the concession when redeeming their voucher.  This may or may not be a viable option since the Icemen have not outlined what is available or at what cost.  Also, we will not allow students to make repeated trips to the concession stands for safety reasons at such a large, public venue.
    We are trying to be as transparent as possible with the information they have given us.  We will also discuss this information with students at school tomorrow.  Students may wear their school shirt to the game, or the Icemen team colors are navy blue and gray.  It will probably be chilly, so please help us to ensure students are dressed appropriately so that they can enjoy the game!
