Welcome!
AWARDS
 Congratulations to John Green Elementary for receiving the 2012 California Distinguished Schools Award. Schools are honored for their innovative education programs that encourage students to learn and help close the achievement gap. Thank you to all students, parents, teachers, staff and the PFC for a job well done.

PFC FUNDS IN ACTION
Thanks to the generous donations from John Green’s families, PFC has been able to support many wonderful programs and events for this school year. Your donation dollars helped fund various school programs. Please click here or go to the Raise Funds tab for more information.
PFC & SSC BOARD NOMINATIONS!
As the school year comes to a close, it is time for PFC Board and School Site Council (SSC) elections for the 2012-2013 academic year. The school has started to prepare for the next school year and needs your involvement! Please consider being a part of next year’s PFC Board or SSC. These leadership positions are very important. The members of these organizations represent Green families on a wide variety of important issues and matters from grade level educational programming, fundraising, to event planning.
Please return the nomination form to the Green Elementary's front office or send an email to Irene Padnos at irenepadnos@mac.com, by Friday, May 18th. Access the forms via the PFC and SSC links or go to the Forms tab.
RECYCLING
Which class will win our SPRING CONTEST and earn their place on the Recycling Wall of Fame?
The winning class will be rewarded with an ice cream party! The contest runs from 4/17 - 5/15 and is tied to recycled classroom paper volume.
CONTEST RULES: Winner(s) will be the class whose lunchtime bins come out:
- most often during the contest period - bins must be at least half-full
- trash-free
- class must have no other recycling infractions (such as trays thrown in trash instead of compost during lunch) FYI - we had a 5th and 4th grade class in the running for the fall pizza contest but unfortunately, there were some food tray infractions in these classes, which count against them
CRV plastic bottles (no cans or glass please!) brought from home will help classes earn additional points.
Yearbook ordering is no longer available as the printers are working to deliver our books at the end of the month or beginning of June. The exact dates are to be announced. But there will be some yearbooks for sale on campus once we receive them. Please contact Monique or Sheila, Yearbook Committee Co-Chairpersons at johngreenyearbook@gmail.com for any additional questions. Thank you.
LIBRARY CORNER
Students visit the library with their class once a week for 30 minutes. Encourage your children to read their books during the week and return books on their assigned library day, so they can borrow new books.
Thanks to all of the parents that have expressed an interest in helping in the library. At this time, there are enough volunteers. However, volunteers are needed throughout the year during special events such as book fairs. Please watch for announcements. For additional library questions, please contact Derek Ngai at NgaiDerek@dublin.k12.ca.us
