When Milo finds an enormous package in his bedroom, he’s delighted to have something to relieve his boredom with school. And when he opens it to find – as the label states – One Genuine Turnpike Tollbooth, he gets right into his pedal car and sets off through the Tollbooth and away on a magical journey!
Milo’s extraordinary voyage takes him into such places as the Land of Expectation, the Doldrums, the Mountains of Ignorance and the Castle in the Air. He meets the weirdest and most unexpected characters (such as Tock, the watchdog, the Gelatinous Giant, and the Threadbare Excuse, who mumbles the same thing over and over again), and, once home, can hardly wait to try out the Tollbooth again. But will it be still there when he gets back from school?
Dear Parents,
CSPN is hosting an exciting new event in January and we need volunteers.
What: Family Fun Night
When: Thursday, January 24 from 5:45PM to 7:45PM
Why: Because January is a blah month full of Christmas bills and cold weather, so come to Campus School and have some FREE fun!
Theme: Career Night - Come find out what cool jobs your classmates' parents have!
Event Overview: Val Russell (Porter’s Mom) has volunteered to bring her amazing aerial group to Campus School and perform 3 shows for Family Fun Night. This is going to be a huge treat for all of us. While it may be hard to be as cool as Val’s aerial act we know we have lots of talented parent’s at Campus School and we want to share these talents with our kids. The plan is to have parents manning different career rooms so the kids can experience all types of careers during the evenings. So far we have the following rooms:
• Airline Pilots (need/have 1 volunteer David)
• Chefs (need)
• Artist (need)
• Journalist/Authors (need)
• Gardening/Landscaping (have 2 volunteers Corrie/Joellen)
Computer Programming (need/have 1 volunteer Libby)
• Teachers/Professors (need/ have 1 volunteer Riki J.)
Please email Julie Nanney at bonanney@gmail.com to volunteer to help in one of the career rooms or have an idea for another room. Also, you can sign up to help on the wiki link below.
