It's hard to believe this is the final newsletter of the school year! This is a great time to reflect on how much your child has grown this year. It is a joy to watch them grow socially, emotionally, and academically. Thank you for sharing this important year with us.

As you make plans for your summer, please include the reading program at the Cockeysville Library. Students need to keep reading all summer to maintain all they learned this year and to be prepared to begin the 2019-2020 school year. In addition, have them write in a journal over the summer. This is a great way to record thoughts and ideas when on vacation or during a quiet moment in the heat of the summer. To keep the math skills fresh, ask kids to count change at the store or tell how much time needs to elapse before a movie starts.

As we say goodbye to the 2018-2019 school year, we also say farewell to Ms. Anne Leppert (grade 4 teacher) and Mrs. Kate Schmick (speech and language pathologist). While we will miss the vitality and sense of enthusiasm for learning that these staff members bring to the learning process, we send them our best wishes for much success in the years to come.

Thank you for sharing your children with us and participating in their education throughout the year. I want to wish everyone a safe, relaxing and enjoyable summer!

Principal

News from the PTA

Hello Warren Parents, It's been a great school year and I wanted to thank everyone who has volunteered over the year. Without your help, Warren would not have had all of the wonderful events that make this community so great. Thank you to Lisa Johnson, for all of the yummy

Family Restaurant Nights, Moriah Hall, for the book giveaway, Maria Eng for her hard work as our Special Education Liaison, and to Maryann Cavolo and Leigh Erdman, for running Cubs in the Community.

This June, don't forget to send in permission slips and $2 for Kona Ice on Play Day! Our PTA meeting will be on June 11th at 7:30. Hope to see you there.

Thank you all for sharing your time,

Isabel Koch, PTA President

New Faces in our Cafeteria

We would love to see some new faces in our cafeteria and Mrs. O'Leary and Mrs. Marziale would like you to consider volunteering there! They created a signup genius and are asking that interested volunteers follow the link

AOFF2-february. If you are looking to help out for 30

minutes (or more) please follow this link or contact Mrs. O'Leary or Mrs. Marziale to let them know you would like to help! You will be supporting your child and our whole school community. We appreciate any time you are able to provide in assisting our cafeteria workers with tasks such as handing out utensils and opening containers. To volunteer, please be sure you have completed the BCPS volunteer training which can be found at warrenes..

School Store

School Store Closed on May 31.

I want to thank the wonderful students who made the school store a success this year. These fourth and fifth graders came to the store twice a week to run the cash register and to help shoppers. They are Londyn Brooks, Esther Mesioye, Dimitri Lymperis, Jaydn Johnson and Andrew Koch. Also 4 adults helped me from October to May. I could not do the store without them: Steve Cromwell, Victoria Kinsler, Janet Wehner and Ken Hall. My sincere thanks to all of you.

Please come check out the store next year when you come to meet your child's teacher. Get the school supplies you missed as well as other much desired items! Help our new helpers learn how to use the register and treat customers.

School Supplies...Buy them OR Have them on your child's desk the first day of school with no hassle?!?

The requested school supply list for next year will be sent home to you. You will also get another copy in the August mailing. All items on the list should be at school with your child on the first day. If you wish you can have the PTA do it FOR YOU! The PTA will buy the right supplies for your child, label them, and put them on his or her desk the first day of school.

HOW? Use the Supplies by PTA program. Fill out the form. Send in a check, money order or cash. The school supplies will be on your child's desk the first day of school. You have received a copy but if you need an extra, either come to the office or email

spivakcpa@. Give it a try. Easy. Accurate. Support your PTA.

The school store stocks all the school supplies on the lists for K to 5th grade. If you buy the supplies yourself but are missing one or two items, or if your child runs out during the year, please think of the store as your child's place to go for those supplies. Hope to see you soon!

BCPL SUMMER READING: A UNIVERSE OF STORIES

BCPL SUMMER READING: A UNIVERSE OF STORIES

As reported in Scholastic's Kids & Families Reading Report: Key Facts About Summer Reading, the "summer slide" reading loss can be prevented by encouraging children to read over the summer. As a result, ALL Warren students are invited to participate in the BCPL Summer Reading program - a collaborative effort between Baltimore County Public Library branches and BCPS school libraries to promote reading throughout the summer months. This program is easy, fun, and free! This year's theme, A Universe of Stories, will celebrate the 50th anniversary of the moon. Throughout the summer, students can work their way through the game board earning points for reading books, completing activities, or writing online book reviews. Families can play on paper or online. When students earn 20 points, they have completed the game and can visit any branch to receive a prize! Mrs. Argiriadi and Ms. Schautz will be promoting Summer Reading during students' regularly scheduled library classes in the coming weeks. Each student will receive a BCPL game board. Additional information, including how to register, is shared below.

What: Summer Reading: A Universe of Stories Who: All Warren Students Where: Any Baltimore County Public Library Branch When: June 17 - September 1 Register: Questions: Reach out to Mrs. Argiriadi (sargiriadi@) or Ms. Schautz (sbaker4@)

Warren Elementary's Virtue of the Month Program- June - Forgiveness

The Gift of Character:

Warren Elementary is continuing our virtues language program. Students are embracing these virtues and complimenting each other for demonstrating them. For the month of June our main virtue is Forgiveness. The virtues that go well with Forgiveness are Loyalty, Love. Consideration and Enthusiasm. It takes Consideration of ourselves and others to realize and admit that everyone makes mistakes. It is important to take Responsibility and still Love ourselves, rather than punish ourselves with guilt if we make a mistake. We can learn from our mistakes and help others to do the same by showing them Loyalty and Forgiveness. We can share our feelings about how we feel when someone harms us, without taking revenge. We can Love ourselves by not giving uncaring people a chance to keep hurting us. This month let's especially remember that we are Forgiving of others. We show Loyalty and Enthusiasm by giving someone another chance after they have done something wrong. We show ourselves the same Love and Consideration by having Faith that we can change. We know we have the power to change our lives and the lives of others for the better! Let's approach the end of the year fun with Enthusiasm and readiness to Forgive, so we can maximize Joy!
