HV Preschool’s Holiday Program: The Little Red Hen Makes a Fruitcake!

HV Students Share Thanksgiving Essays With Five Crowns Staff

A group of Harbor View fourth-graders celebrated the holidays at the Five Crowns annual staff luncheon, reading Thanksgiving essays while staff members feasted on roasted pig and pumpkin puree.

The students shared Thanksgiving artwork from their first-grade reading buddies — first-grader Tegan Brown said she was thankful for money — then each took a turn reading an essay about what they were thankful for.

“I give thanks for my family because they love me and they pay for my sports, my field trips and insurance,” read Zane Weaver. Other students said they were thankful for their families, their teachers, cupcakes, soccer and their country.

The Five Crowns staff gave the students a standing ovation. The students then were served ice cream, pie and fruit crumble.

Five Crowns General Manager Steve Kim said this was the first year he invited students to the restaurant’s annual party.

“We as adults complicate things,” he said. “Children are innocent, they know how to say thank you. So I called the school so the students could show how simple it is.”

Book Fair Open

Harbor View’s multipurpose room has been taken over by aliens, spaceships and rockets — and books, as the annual Scholastic Book Fair was launched today.

The fair will run from 7:15 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day except Wednesday, when it closes at 3 p.m.

On Tuesday, students can shop with their mothers during “Milkyway Muffins with Moms” from 7:15 to 8:15 a.m. From 7:15 to 8:15 a.m. Wednesday, the theme is “Cosmic Bagels with Grands” and the same hours on Thursday is “Deep Space Doughnuts with Dads.”

Students who bring in gently used books to contribute to Sister School Pomona Elementary will earn a free book buck. Parents also can set up a pre-paid account for their students.

Colleen Roudebush, a co-chairwoman, said many parents contributed to the book fair and to creating the elaborate decorations. Andrea and Bob Loth created a floor-to-ceiling rocket ship as a centerpiece for the fair, and Erika Hilla created a mural. Other parents dressed inflatable aliens in Harbor View t-shirts and decorated the doors to look like a space-age workspace using aluminum lids, old cps and caution tape.

The book fair is a PFO fundraiser as well as a community outreach event, Roudebush said. She said she hoped that Harbor View’s book fair would be successful enough to win a national Scholastic contest with the prize being a visit by “Goosebumps” author R. L. Stine.
