Can it be a full week of school?? I certainly hope so! I am really ready to teach these kiddos something! I hope you got your progress reports. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me! I feel like we just sent report cards....basically we did. I think someone counted and we may have only had 10 days of school since report cards went home. It feels about right!
Here are a few announcements from Mrs. Kelley:
Parents - A total of $10,633.92 was raised for the American Heart Association from our Jump Rope for Heart Event. Thanks to all that supported this event. The American Heart Association sends a huge thank you to our community! Note...if your child raised money, the thank you gifts will be in in a few weeks.
Cup Stack Tournament - Forms were sent home and need to be turned in by Monday, March 4th, if your child wants to participate. The tournament is Friday, March 8th during the school day.
Reading month starts on Friday!!! We are going to Go Wild For Reading!! We are doing a Rainforest theme this year. Our class will be creating and learning specifically about the toucan. If you have any books or information to share that would be great!! We will be having popcorn Fridays. Your child can purchase a bag of popcorn for a quarter and the money will go to help save the rainforest! How cool is that!! Our first dress up day is Friday. We are to dress like a safari person. Let's Go Wild for Reading!!
We will also be having the book fair as well during reading month. Here is a note from our PTO:
WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Dear Parents (and Grandparents),
The PTO is looking for volunteers to help with the upcoming Book Fair.
We are seeking volunteers to help students browse and purchase books on March 21st, 22nd, 25th, 26th, 27th, and 28th from 11:30am-3:00pm. The Book Fair will be set-up in the Library and students will come down with their entire class - - so the more volunteers we have to help, the smoother it will go. If you’d be willing to help out for an afternoon (or partial afternoon) please let us know.
We are also extending our hours on Thursday March 21st & Thursday March 28th from 3:00-6:00 so that families & community members can browse and shop. We are looking for volunteers to run the fair during these extended hours as well.
If you would be willing to help out with the Book Fair, please contact Sherry Brinks at sherrybrinks@gmail.com (825-2021/884-9566) or LeighAnn Sikkema at lasikkema@mcbain.org (825-8041).
Thanks for supporting your PTO.
