Three performances, 9:00am (1st, 3rd, and 5th), and 1:30pm (K, 2nd, and 4th), and 7:00pm.
Third Grade Can Drive Starts this week!
On Monday, November 28, about 2-5 students will visit every classroom to make an announcement to the students to let them know what they should bring, what they shouldn't bring, when they can start bringing cans and when the can drive ends. This will probably take about 5 minutes. They'll also bring flyers to give to the teacher to put in Wednesday folders.
Barrick - Kinder
Stover - 1st
Bones - 2nd
Hyvl - 3rd
Gall/Johnson - 4th
Francis - 5th (collection for fifth grade might even be right at the bell , instead of announcements to allow for fifth graders to get to specials)
****This is the same as who will come collect in the mornings, starting on the 29th. The 3rd grade teachers will contact each individual teacher to see what time is best to come for this bigger announcement because it will take up more time.
-3rd grade is going to try to get the big bulletin board numbers updated by 1PM daily.
-The last day of collection will be Thursday 12/8 at 8:30AM.
-Third Grade will announce the overall winner at assembly on Friday, 12/9. Third Grade classes begin their field trips to the food bank, starting on the 9th.
Field Trip Schedule:
Friday, December 9- Barrick
Monday, December 12- Hyvl, Chiu/Bones
Tuesday, December 13- Johnson, Gall
