Announcements

On Friday, Feb. 12, our class will have a Valentine's Day celebration.  Exchanging Valentines is optional.  A class list will be provided, and if a student participates in this activity, s/he is reminded to bring a Valentine for every classmate.  Students with keytag #14 - 26 have been asked to consider bringing a treat to share.  This is also optional, and no family should feel obligated to send something.  We are asking for simple finger foods such as cookies, cupcakes, brownies, candy, fruit, veggies, small sandwiches, cheese cubes, etc. and punch, juice, or soda to drink.  I will provide the paper goods. 

We have two field trips this month:  a Feb. 10 trip to the California State Museum for Time of Remembrance and a Feb. 24 trip to the Science Discovery Center Planetarium.  Thank you to the parents who volunteered to be chaperones.  As usual, those who were the first to return the request notes were asked to be the chaperones.  

Thanks to everyone who participated in the "Haiti Needs Change" project.  Our class collected enough coins to fill the container two and a half times!  The second grade classes will now count and roll the coins so they can be sent to the American Red Cross.

Congratulations to this month's STAR Student, Ariana Ceballos.  Ariana is recognized for demonstrating the STAR characteristic:  Choose to respect differences.  Our Academic Achievement student is Julia Page.  Julia is recognized for excellence in math.  Compliments to both of you!

The Ehrhardt Eagles basketball teams have been selected, and league play begins in January.  Three students from our class were named to the girls' team:  Kelsey Brown, Mazzie Davies, and Dominique Frazier.  Congratulations, girls, and here's to a winning season!
