November 9th- November 13th
We are sponsoring a special raffle to win two tickets to an
upcoming Saints game (Patriots vs Saints, Monday night, November 30, 2009 –
7:30 pm kickoff). The raffle tickets will cost only $1.00. Proceeds from the
raffle will go toward purchasing supplies and student prizes for our Positive
Behavior Support program. Each student will be given 10 of the raffle
tickets to bring home. The drawing for the raffle will be held on Wednesday,
November 18th. The winner does not have to be present to win the raffle.
ALL 4th GRADE STUDENTS: Mr. Alford has decided homework with be
optional for ALL 4th grade students. Changes may be made at the end of the
second quarter. Although homework completion still encouraged, the faculty
and staff at Abney recognize that many of our students and parents are
overwhelmed with many obligations/responsibilities after school. Students
should still be studying for tests. This does NOT apply to Geography of the
Week. If you have any questions or concerns please refer to the note that
went home last week regarding this new policy or contact myself or Mr. Alford.
Ice cream sandwiches and Rainbow Pops are now being sold for $1.00
every Friday at your child’s recess! The money is being used for PBS
incentives for the students.
We are in a competition to collect the most Box Tops. Please cut
them out and send them in.
