Exciting News!
We know our families are busy and that means sometimes they miss important events. This year we will be showcasing some of those special events LIVE on our Youtube channel. You can go to our website and click on the Youtube icon in the upper right corner or go directly to the link: https://www.youtube.com/user/ElementaryPontiac?feature=mhee. We are streaming live through a chromebook, so the quality won't be the best, but you will get to see the activity. We hope this will help our families. If you are not able to watch it live you can go to our Youtube channel and watch at your convenience.

Vehicle Day at Pontiac
Our students are enjoying looking at all the cool trucks and learning about careers.
Vehicle Day
Dear Parents,
Pontiac Elementary is hosting a Vehicle Day to promote career awareness on Friday, May 22nd. Vehicle Day will be held on school property and will consist of vehicles representing different occupations. As an AVID school, we are committed to preparing all of our students for college and careers. You can help us prepare them by coming to share with us! We will be hosting two sessions for our students to visit vehicles:
Morning session 8:30am-10:30am
Afternoon session 12:30pm – 2:00pm
We would like to extend an invitation to your company/business to participate in Pontiac’s Vehicle Day. Please let us know if you could bring a vehicle to share at one or both of the sessions on May 22nd.
During the sessions, we ask that you stand by your vehicle and share information with students about your career. The students will be prepared to ask you questions regarding your job duties and the education and training that prepared you for your career. Your sharing can help our students make connections between their education and the world of work! This connection is vital in motivating students to set educational goals and plan for their futures.
If you would like to participate in Vehicle Day, please respond by May 1st to Julie Whitney or Trish Dubose at (803)699-2700 X81010. You can also reach us by email at jwhitney@richland2.org or tdubose@richland2.org. Also, please feel free to contact us with any questions.
Thank you for helping prepare our students for the future!
Sincerely,
Julie Whitney
