Cougar Dash Fun Run
Our Home and School Club is working closely with the Boosterthon organization to organize and support us with the fundraising of our annual Walkathon, now known as Cougar Dash Fun Run. The Fun Run is a pledge-based fundraiser, meaning students will be getting pledges for the number of laps they will run on the day of the event. Most students walk/run around 30-35 laps so a pledge of $1 per lap will come to around $30-$35 dollars. Friends and family may also choose to do a flat donation. Parents and sponsors enter pledges online at funrun.com so tracking pledges, collections, rewards, etc. is made simple. H&SC will be sending a flyer home with more information on how it all works. Our goal is to raise $25,000 in profits and this money will be put toward our music program and school field trips. We invite all our families to come out and cheer for your child on Friday, March 22nd. Attached is the schedule so that parents are aware when their child will be walking http://bit.ly/2Stygmw. Please mark your calendars and come join the fun!

Annual Book Fair
Our fabulous, annual Scholastic Book Fair is returning this month. The theme this year is DINO-Mite books. It will run from March 7th to March 15th in our library/media center. The hours that it will be open are 7:45 a.m. to 8:30 a.m., and then 9:45 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. We will once again have a community movie night on the last day of the Book Fair, which is Friday, March 15th. The dinosaur theme movie is to be determined. The Book Fair will remain open until 8:00 p.m. on that day. We are in need of volunteers for our busy times which are recess, lunch, and after school. H&SC is also accepting donations for the movie night raffle. Please drop any donations off at the front office. If you can volunteer during the Book Fair hours, please contact Shelly Cumming at srcearing@aol.com.

Parent Teacher Conferences
It is that time of the year again when parents have the opportunity to meet with their child’s classroom teacher and discuss their academic and social development in school. Conferences begin Thursday, March 7th, and continue through Friday, March 15th. We will have a 1:15 p.m. dismissal time throughout this conference period for grades 1st – 5th. TK and Kindergarten schedules remain the same. Your child’s teacher will be sending out a form to schedule a time to meet. Conferences allow teachers to share the progress of each child and provide parents the opportunity to ask clarifying questions and give input into the positive development of their child. It is important that children know that the success of their education is a team effort between home and school.
