FURR Elementary May 3, 2020
e-Learning Edition!
Dear Furr Families!
Another month is behind us and we find ourselves welcoming in another one. MAY has arrived. This month, even though it is the last month of this school year, it is packed with activities. Information and dates will be coming soon.
This week (May 4-8) is a SPECIAL week that I hold very dear to me. It's TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK. It's the week when I reflect on all the teachers that have impacted my life, my personal children's lives, and now, the lives of our Furr Families. I reach out to as many teachers as I can ...and tell them thank you. IF you get the chance, one of the greatest compliments a teacher can get is a student reaching out to them and saying thank you!
This week we have something lined up for our FABULOUS teachers at FURR Elementary and we need your help:
Monday: Send your teacher a flower!
Tuesday: Sing a song and send it to your teacher!
Wednesday: Take a picture from your front door or window and send it to your teacher. As different as this sounds, this is a global movement to show the beauty of your surroundings. Take a picture of your view from your front door or your favorite window.
Thursday: Tell a joke and send it to your teacher.
Friday: Write a special note of thanks and send it to your teacher!

Even though our schools remain closed for the remainder of 2019-2020, eLearning will continue until the end of this school year. We continue to miss our students and families. I'm very thankful to be able to see our students through Google Hangouts! It solidifies the fact that we are social beings and interaction with others...is very important! That all to say, I MISS EVERYONE!
Please reach out if you need anything at all or if you know of a family in need of any assistance. If you call Furr Elementary, please leave a message and someone will get back with you, shortly.
