Students of Month..6 Mar. Students of Month..6 Twin Cedars CommunitySchool N e w s l e t t e r Iwant to thank everyone who helped make this years Twin Cedars Prom such a huge success. Our kids had a fantastic time at the walk through, prom, and after-prom. A special thank you must go out to Mrs. Moore/Mrs. Mirtrisin (junior class sponsors) and all of the Twin Cedars After Prom parents. Once again, time to say good bye to another amazing group of young men and women. The Class of 2017 will be graduating on May 21 @ 2:00. Please come out and see them off on this special day. Music Department 04/10/2017 Dear Twin Cedars Parents and Guardians, The end of the year is quickly approaching and, before we know it, our elementary spring concert will be here. Like the past two years, our elementary concert is an informal affair and will be held on May 16th, 2017. The concert will be at 2:00 pm in the elementary gym and will feature 4th, 5th and 6th grade classes as well as 6th grade band. If the 5th grade band is ready, they may play as well. Students are not required to dress up. PLEASE BE WARNED THAT A LETTER SENT TO HIGH SCHOOL PARENTS STATE THAT THE ELEMENTARY CONCERT WAS TO BE ON MAY 5TH. THIS DATE IS INCORRECT. May 5th IS the date of elementary track and field and your child should have received an order form for lunch (from the music boosters) and a shirt (from PTO). Thank you again for all of your support this year! Sincerely Nathan Smith From the Desk of Mr. Roby Athletic Boosters... 7 Board Minutes...7 Other Misc.

The Peppertree As we fall into the final stretch of our academic year, I want to communicate a few Treasured Portraits reminders. If your child plans on going to Adventurland and has not completed his or Vermeer her requirements, he or she need to communicate with Mr. Smith as soon as possible. Wal-Mart There is a list of Adventurland students posted outside of Mr. Smith s door. If your Wells Fargo Bank child s name is not on the list, that means that I do not have all of the requirements met Winfield Funeral Home T F May 2017 Page 3

Twin Cedars Community School Newsletter and your child needs to let me know he or she will be going. If your child s name is on the list but he or she is no longer able to go, please let me know as soon as possible. Our final 7-12 band and choir concert of the year will be held in the high school cafetorium on May 16th at 7:00 pm. Students are expected to dress appropriately and meet in the band room at 6:30 pm to warm-up and tune. The 7-12 band and choir will present a varied concert of classical music, traditional folk music, and (the students favorite), pop music. This concert is a required event that is a BIG part of your student s grade. There have been some issues with attendance at this concert in the past, though last year s attendance was a huge improvement!!! Many things can not be helped (illness, funerals, etc.) and many things can. We have already discussed what are and are not acceptable excuses for missing a concert. Finally, 7-12 band students will perform at graduation at 2:00 pm on Sunday, May 21st. Students need to meet in the band room by 1:30 pm. JUNIOR HIGH BAND STUDENTS will be performing as well. Although we only play in the beginning, just like concerts, the polite thing to do is to stay for the whole event. Again, this is a large part of your students grade in band. Because it is on a Sunday, irreconcilable conflicts will be dealt with on a case by case basis and the advice of administration will be taken into account if needed to help guide grading decisions. As per the student handbook, the make-up will be a performance of the concert material in front of at least six people. Please let me know by May 5th, in writing or email, why your child may not be able to go. Concert dress is expected, but I would suggest cooler clothes. In my experience, graduations get very warm! Here are the dates to keep in mind: -Elementary Track and Field: May 5th (make up on May 19th) -Adventerland: May 6th -4th through 6th Elementary Spring Concert: May 16th (during the school day 2:00 pm) (This is a correction from my last letter, which stated that the concert was on May 5th) -7-12 Spring Concert: May 16th -Graduation: May 21st (required 7-12 band) Thank you so much for your support! Nathan Smith The Music Department has kept VERY busy between the Carnvail, visits from Central College, William Penn, and Iowa Central Community College, the annual Bluegrass honor bands, a college visit to Indian Hills Community College, and 6th-8th solo/ensemble. I am taking up a lot of this newsletter, so I'm going to keep my comments brief! Please enjoy the pictures in this newsletter and don't forget our Spring concert on May 16th! Page 4 May 2017

Twin Cedars Community School Newsletter ART T he 2017 Des Moines Art Festival will be held on June 23-25. This will be in the downtown Des Moines' Western Gateway Park. The award-winning Festival is Iowa's premier celebration of the arts and attracts more than 200,000 guests annually. The Student Art Exhibition (SAE) is a program that spotlights the creativity of children in kindergarten through 12th grade attending schools in central Iowa through special exhibitions at the Festival and Des Moines Central Library. It recognizes students artistic achievements at the Visionary Artist Ceremony and Student Art Exhibition Reception, and rewards them with a Medallion of Appreciation along with a Des Moines Art Center Household Membership. Last year the exhibit showcased the work of more than 400 students and 100 schools! The students from our school will be: Amber McCombs-Wolf Watercolor Trinity Wright-Color Scheme Self Portrait Jessie Grice-Watercolor Parrots Shelby DenBurger-Color Scheme Self Portrait It is an honor to have a piece of art chosen and displayed at the Art Festival this summer. Please congratulate the students, and attend the Festival this summer!

Twin Cedars Community School Newsletter Personal Finance & Accounting Information: T he Personal Finance class has been working on a computer program that covers Financial Literacy and Futuresmart. These programs help the students to get a better picture of how things work in the real world. They have also spent some time doing a checkbook simulation. Mary Kay Van Gorp of Community First Credit Union also stopped in and talked to the class about checking and savings accounts, beginning the process of getting a credit score, and a few other things. The Accounting class has begun working with special journals (Purchases Journal, Cash Payments Journal, Sales Journal, Cash Receipts Journal and General Journal) They are finding out that there is a lot more involved when you are working with a corporation as opposed to a proprietorship. It is safe to say that posting transactions is not their favorite activity.
