twelve first graders attending
Breakfast Club everyone morning
in room 13 on Monday through
Thursdays. The students take
turns reading with Linda Sensei
everyone other day. They also
take turns working on laptops

Eugene Celebration
and Back to School
Picnic
We will be celebrating our 20th
Anniversary of the beginning of
Yujin Gakuen next year in 2008.
(1998-2008). We have several big
events planned throughout the
year and would love to have first
grade parents play an active row
in organizing the events. Please
take time to think about what time
of year you have more time and
energy to help out. PTO officers
are taking the main chairmanships
for each of the events. They are
looking for volunteer committee
members to contribute ideas, time
and energy to make each event a
success. We are very fortunate to
have visionary and creative
leadership in our Parent Group.
Let’s all give our time to the event
of our choice so we don’t burden
any one person with the workload.
Please look for more information
on each event and when the
volunteer sign up sheets come
home, we hope to see your family
on one of the 20th Anniversary
committees and thank you in
advance for helping out at the
many, fun PTO sponsored events
this school year.
