  • Family Volunteers for Second Grade Picnic Needed!

    April 29, 2014

    Dear Families,
    This year, the Carson Annual Second Grade Picnic at Meadows Park will be held on Friday, May 30th, from 10:30 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.
    Last year, Ms. Won brought over an idea from her previous school, and scheduled the day in detail to make it an official “Field Day”! We had different field day-type events (baton pass race, water balloon toss, relay race, etc.). We would like to do the same this year, but will need adult family member volunteers to help with each station.
    If you are interested in helping us coordinate a station for the field trip, please contact your child’s teacher at sseyan@sjusd.org
    or hwon@sjusd.org.
    Thank you in advance for considering helping out!
    Yours,
    The Second Grade Team
