Important Events for February:
Important notes:
***Please note which supplies your child is out of. The school does not
furnish us with pencils, and many students are completely out. I have
purchased many, but could use help, if possible! Thanks!
***Please remember to send a snack with your child, and a drink if desired.
Some children are forgetting to bring any and between my donations and
parents, we are still running short. Most teachers do not supply these and
it’s better to be in that habit now so that next year, no one is left out!
***Please use the following site to practice spelling
words: www.spellingcity.com
The following are important reminders for this month:
*Yearbook sales are continuing. You must preorder to receive a yearbook for
$26.00.
February 4-12
"CANDYGRAMS" will be sold for $1 to benefit the Cancer Society.
February 8th
"Circus of the Kids" Workshop (10:30) and Show (1:30) We have one Dad who is
volunteering, but we really could use more. If you have time, please join
us! Most children have sent in spending money and if you desire your child
to buy souvenirs or snacks, Monday will be the last day to turn monies in.
It is not mandatory to do so.
