SCIENCE FAIR
PFC is hosting a SCIENCE FUN FAIR!!!
PFC is hosting the annual Science Fun Fair on March 29th from 6pm-8pm, in the Multi-Purpose Room.
Doing a science project is a great way for children to gain exposure to science in a fun and creative way. Projects in grades 3rd, 4th, and 5th are required as part of the standard curriculum. Additional information will be provided by your child's teacher. For grades kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd, participation is voluntary. Students may also choose to work in groups.
The Science Fun Fair Committee is also pleased to announce the participation of three scientific groups: Pioneers in Engineering, Lawrence Livermore National Lab and Spectrum of Science.
Please click here for more information about the fair, the exhibitors, volunteer opportunities via VolunteerSpot and to download a copy of the Parent Handbook.
If you have any questions or need assistance, please contact Vijji at vijji@bpatech.com, Houda at bourouhahouda@yahoo.com or Carolyn at dhccc3@yahoo.com.

BREAKFAST BOOK CLUB
There are a few more sessions left this school year: Jan. 31st, Feb. 28th and Mar. 27th. Be sure to sign up for John Green Breakfast Book Club (JG BBC) during the 2012-2013 check-in days. The BBC provides a memorable, exciting and supportive experience that focuses on enhancing your child’s joy of reading. Books are usually hand-picked from a variety of award-winning and/or newly-released books. Children are asked to read selections on their own each month and prepare for a fun and interactive discussion during each club meet.
For an $85 fee, there are normally 7 or 8 monthly sessions throughout the school year and are generally held during the LAST Tuesday of the month. BBC is located in the MPR after the 7:30 a.m. drop-off and it includes a healthy breakfast followed by grade level group discussions at 8 a.m. Children are released from the MPR at 8:30 a.m. and Kindergarteners are escorted to their classrooms by their adult BBC leader. All BBC kids leave with the next month's book in hand.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact BBC co-chairs Shalini Suravarjjala (shalini@dublin.com) or Regina Pangelinan (pangelinans@sbcglobal.net). 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
